You can't with Crystal 8.5. But I'm pretty sure that Crystal 11 allows you to link to the image directory and then have the report pull the image you need, formatting it on the fly. Lots and lots of 18 Mb files could slow that down, I suppose. If anyone has had success in doing this, it would be great to hear about it.

I am trying to find a way to include large images in reports, particularly condition reports, that could be accessible to users through the reports menu in TMS. Crystal Reports v. 8.5 allows for the use of thumbnails, but full-size images are a different story. I have tried including the ThumbBLOB field and simply stretching it, but it yields a very poor quality result. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
