Solution

  • Finally I found an answer to my question.

    All my steps are correct but the error is in the vb.net [Picturebox].

    before I will click the print button to print my report, In the form there is a picture box that display the image of the path that I will be using in the crystal report. So when the crystal report loads. The default image is showed not the image from path it because picture box is still using the image; that's why Crystal Reports cannot open the image.

    Hope this is the correct reasons to my problem.

    For users wondering why the image in their Crystal Reports load some time and some time not. It is because maybe you open the form that contains that image. For example you have a form company profile and there is a image of company there. Then you have some reports that will be using the company image just for the header part; then your problem is the image load correctly but some time is not. Try to dispose the image in the company form when you close the form so that the crystal report can use the image.
