I have a Crystal Report(Crystal 11) which displays employee photos & some info about the employee. When I am in preview mode & paging forward, I will reach a certain employee & get the Integer Division By Zero Exception. It is important to note that there is no math involved. If i remove the picture, everything is fine. Has anyone run into this, and if so how did they get around it?

We did find the Security Tracker below which seems to relate to the problem.
