Unfortunately, to do this in .NET 2003 is a bit complex. I have the complete code in my book and its much too complex to explain here. You have to create a DataSet class and add field to it of the binary type. Then load all the images into the DataSet. Then link that DataSet to the report.
If you get CR XI, they added support for dynamic images so that all you have to do is pass it the filepath of the image. Much easier! But with VS 2003 it is not that simple.

No, you can't do this. The only option is to do the steps I listed in my post. Crystal doesn't have this feature unless you upgrade to CR XI.
