Visual Studio 2005 - Display images in Crystal Report

[Former Member]

I have been tyring to import an image from the HD into crystal reports. I have been failing miserably. I have researched the web and the forum and tired the approaches and still no luck.

I do not use a database and am using the crystal report that came with VS 2005 PRO. What version of CR do I have?

I have tried adding OLE object and still did not work.

Please advice!

Hi Jerry,

What is the type of image you are trying to insert in Crystal reports ?

Have you tried using Insert--Image? You have to select the location of the image and place it in your report.

Is the image is located in your HD or pulling from network drive ?

Please try the following :

--Open your image in MS Paint

--Save the image as .bmp in your local HD Drive

--Insert the image directly or insert as OLE object.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,

Sastry

Here is a follow up post for my issue. I also post how to embed images into a report.

My initial source for the code was acquired from VbCity
