Dear Programmerxyz,

If you mean "how can I display pictures in a Crystal Report?" you need to have the following:

1. The pictures must be stored in the database you are reporting from - usually in a binary format. bmps are supported in version 7.0 - version 8 and above also can use jpgs, etc.

2. Crystal sees the field as a blob field - and can be placed on a report just like any other field.

3. But unlike the last response - I believe that Crystal cannot report on data outside of a datasource - such as in a file directory - they must reside inside the database.

Hopes this helps
