Now how should I do ?
I use visual studio 2013 and latest version of crystal report .

Use a conditional formula to dynamically change the location of a report’s image.

1. Add an image to the report: -> Insert -> Picture This image will act as a placeholder. Ensure that the placeholder is the same size as the one that will be dynamically loaded, otherwise, the image will be scaled.

2. Change the image’s Graphic Location:
   -> right click image
-> select Format Graphic…
-> select Picture tab
-> click the conditional-formula button (looks like x+2)
-> set the formula’s text to the name of the formula or parameter field that will contain the image’s URL
-> save the formula and click the OK button
-> save the report

It worked for me.
