hi satya Here is a very very clear and easy way, I started using it last week after searching for a method for some time. These are easy short steps. 1)Save a default "Not Available" image in your images folder (you can download one from google small images). 2)open crystal reports 3)Go to the Insert menu. 4)Click on Picture. 5)A window will open for you to choose a picture, choose the default one from step 1. 6)click ok and place it on the report. 7)Right click the image & click Format Graphic. 8)In the form that will open, click on the "Picture" tab. 9)Click on the formula button next to "Graphic Location". 10)In the formula editor that will open, just select the path field from your table and save the formula. Now what will happen is that the formula will be checked first to get the file from the path, if the file was found it will be displayed. If it wasn't found then the "Not Availabel" image will be displayed. try it
