>The way I am doing it, I copy the picture file along with the report data (I do all the query and record selection in VFP, and use COPY TO xxx TYPE FOX2X to generate tables that Crystal can read directly, no VFP ODBC driver needed). I copy the picture named in a character field in my table to that same location using a common file name. In Crystal, I have created an OLE linked image, so that each time the report is run the image refreshes to the current one.

Displaying images is the one area where Crystal falls short of the VFP report writer.

Thank you so much Randy. I have been reading your post several times in order to really understand on how you do it. I think you are genius. However I still cannot get through your explanation totally.
By copying an image into a common name, will we get only a record in the report at a time? How to show multiple records with correct images in the report?
