Adding a dynamic image to my Crystal Report

Question

Hello, I am using the version of Crystal Reports that is bundled with Visual Studio 2008. I'd like to pass in an image as a parameter, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with VS, but here is what I would do in CR XI Designer:

1. Insert a default image
2. Right-click on the default image to view its properties.
3. Go to the Picture tab.
4. There is a formula editor for Graphic Location. Put the formula for your filepath & name there.

If the image can't be found, Crystal will show the default image instead. If the images are of different sizes, you'll want to play with the Can Grow and Lock position and size properties.
