I have a report and I'm trying to get a image to load based on a formula. I insert a dummy image Ole Object, Create from File, Picture, Graphic Location and go to Path and enter "\\ServerName\SHare\" + {Part} + ".bmp" and when I run the report the image stays the same as dummy image.
 
Thanks,
Greg Cutter

What version of Crystal are you using?  In XI and above, you need to right-click on the image object, select "Format Graphic", select the "Picture" tab and click on the button next to "Graphic Location".  Here is where you build the formula that will dynamically load the image based on the data in your report.

I am using CR 2008. I insert OLE Object and Picture TabFormat Graphic Location: CLick on Formula and enter simple location: "F:\DWGS\dxf\Images\7K50517562.bmp" and it leaves the static picture on the page.
