Using the built in Crystal Reports for VS 2005 I can open a report Click Crystal Report > Insert > Ole Object > and grab a bitmap from my hard drive.  This will then print on the report.  However, I cannot figure out how to do this by code.
 
I have a few bitmaps on my C drive.  Through code I want to select which one will print on the report. 
 
This is what I have so far. 
 
dim rptPicObj as pictureobject

rptPicObj = rpt.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects.Item("Picture1")

Now, I don't know if this is correct but this is how I access all of the fields on the report and can add information or text to them.
 
So I have C:\mySig.bmp and I want to put it to a picture on my crystal report any ideas - would perfect to not load it to a dataset.
