icon Using an external image and linking it dynamically on a crystal report

Hi

I have a report where I would like to use bmp images that is stored on a CD and would like the report to do the following:
1) When report runs to success and the link to the file path is present, insert image
2) When report runs to success and the file path is not present then print void or some other message indicating the image cannot be displayed

At this time, the report is created using a linked bitmap image where an OLE object (with Link option checked) was inserted onto the report. In doing this, it does not satisfy item# 2 above since no matter if the link file path is present or not, the images are still displayed even though th prompt appears when opening the report - (tries to update Active X links) 'Some links could not be updated because their sources are presently unavailable' with button options OK and Links... if you click OK the image displayed (this is noticed as soon as report is opened)... if you click Link, shows you the properties fo the link (such as Link, Type, Update-Automatic/Manual, Source, Type)

Note
1) This report is running on a Oracle server then the user opens the report through the application server, prompted to open-save-cancel with crystal report
2) This report also has another OLE Object named - VOID
3) I am using crystal reports v9

See attached screenshots...

Any assistance in resolving this issue would be appreciated...if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
