Does anyone out there know how to make Crystal Reports display a content
of a field of type "OLE Object" from an Access table?

I'm trying to store personnel data (like their name, number, etc.) and
.BMP files with their signatures as embedded OLE objects (Paintbrush
pictures) into an Access table. In other words, every record has fields:
Name, Number,..., Signature.

The problem is, when I use Crystal Reports 3.0 to print a report that
includes records from this table, the words "Paintbrush picture" appear
instead of the signature image.
I should mention that when I create a report straight from MS-Access,
the images do appear on the report. This is not sufficient though,
because I have to invoke the report generator from my VB application.

If anyone has a clue as to how to handle this, please let me know!

Thanks!

Sam
