using "blobs" with stored procedures as opposed to ODBC

[uksub]

i can't get my blob bitmaps to show when i connect to my datasource via a sql 2000 "stored procedure", but it will work if i connect to it via a "ODBC".

Has anyone come across this before. is there a work-around besides using an ODBC. they seem to frown on that here.

Please post your version of Crystal.

Do you get an error?

Have you applied the service pack?

A 1-2 line post will generally net more questions, try posting environment details and specifics.

You might try OLE DB as well (More Data Sources->OLE DB).
