sql 2000 image fields not working

[duckyboyz]

I'm using SQL Server 2000 (stored procedure as the datasource), and CR 8.0

I have a stored procedure that has an image field. I see the signature fields in Crystal (to add to the report). CR allows you to add the image field as a "blob". But when I go to run the report... i get the message "Not Supported". Is there anyway to get the image fields to work using a stored procedure. It works fine if I use tabels instead of a stored procedure. But, there's an issue with processing time. It takes a very long time to produce the report.

What type of image is this? .JPG? .GIF? Please advise.

I have seen a thread that some types of image files are not supported, but I cannot find anything on this, its jut a vague memory in my head. I am still looking for confirmation of this.
