Depends on your version of CR.

Try selecting the field, right click and select format field->Hyperlink->A File->X 2->Point to the field.

The users can now right click the field and select go to Hyperlink.

i'm using cr 7

I found several ways to do this. All covered in FAQ767-3609 which is a summary from a Crystal Clear earlier this year.

With CR7, the easiest way is to load the image into a DB table.

You also might be able to develop a custom viewer using the RDC and trap the section formatting event to change the image at view time. It won't work with Export, or with CR9 reports.

CR8.5 introduced the COM data object, and I used that in my cViewIMAGE utility (which does exactly waht you want). However, the COM data source isn't available for CR8.0, 7 or earlier.

If you have to stay with CR7, the only solution is to load your images into a DB table.

The UFL solution mentioned in the FAQ will also work in CR7, but it's only if your plan is to export your report to HTML.
