Hello Willianto,
What I managed to make work in my application was to save the .BMP image to a common filename in a common location, and insert it into the Crystal Reports report as an OLE linked object. Thus, each time the report is generated, the linked object gets updated and displays the picture appropriate to the record being displayed in the report. In the Foxpro portion, when selecting the records for reporting, I copy the file out to, say C:\TEMP\REPORT.BMP. In the Crystal report designer, I used the Insert,OLE Object menu, selected From File, and checked the Link checkbox. Hope this helps.

Randy
