I'm still confused. Are you trying to include a field with the employees "mailing address"? Or, are you asking whether you can print a picture associated with each employee? If so, how is the picture stored?Quote:

Now I understand.
Store the picture in the database instead of the path to the picture, and add it as a field to the crystal report, just like you would any other field.
BTW - I know you would have no way to know this, but I'm a ma'am not a sir :wave: .
if we start putting pics in database, then database size will become huge.. best way is to have address of pic in database and keep all pics in another folder...
regarding report problem.. i too is loking for the same.
How many pictures, what size, and what database?
There is a Crystal Reports / VB.net book that's sold online that I believe has an answer to this question. I can't remember what it's called though. Sorry, I know that's not very helpful. But, maybe someone will see this and give you a link to it.
oops sorry my fault! actually i do have the pictures in one folder and in vbforms i am just calling it to load the picture in my form, and thats the problem in crystal report, i dont know how to call it from there. thanks
