Just a few more details would help.

you can manipulate text objects of crystal reports at run time but I couldn't find a way to change the PictureObjects imag source. So you may define a field in a table containing those images and add it to your report. so changing the pic in the table will affect your report. Tell me if you found another way, am curious to know.

i have a web application created with vb.net

this application can be access by many different users at the same time

each user select various options and runs a query to retrieve data from an inSQL server

depending on what they have defined a teeChart line chart image is created and stored in the application folder on the server named [username].jpeg

a crystal report is created and the data retrieved is displayed in the report

i don't want to use the line chart from crystal reports.

i need to display the image that has been created within the report.

both the report and the image are created at runtime.

there must be a way of creating an OLE object and defining it to the sertver.mappath(username).jpeg file.

i know that is possible with different versions of crystal reports using the RDC (Report Design Component).

BUT I AM USING CRYSTAL REPORT FOR VISUAL STUDIO .NET!

can it be done?

thanks
Tom

ps, only shouting because this is becoming v. URGENT and i can't find a way!

please help, if you need any more info just ask

thanks again.
