Hi,

When I display some images in a report with my program, it costs too much memory. The image file is small like 2MB, and even after it's read into the memory to create the object of ReportDocument, not much memory is used, but after the image is shown in the report, about 100MB memory is used.

This problem always causes "Out of memory" exception for my program when a lot of reports with a lot of images are open.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

A 2MB image is actually quite big for Crystal Reports. I had a similar problem and I loaded the image into Photoshop (or whatever program you want) and saved it as a smaller file. Since CR doesn't print high quality graphics, the report looked the same even though the image resolution was reduced.
