Crystal Report Default Picture not changing to my Path Picture

Why is it the Old picture in my crystal report is not changing to my Path Image?
What wrong with my steps?
Insert Picture Box and Select Any image.
Format Object
Select Picture Tab control
Modify Graphic Location
In Formula Workshop i've drag the fields contains my Path Image
Then Save.
Still not working. Is there something wrong?
Please help me.
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.
picturebox1.image.dispose()

How to view multipe reports in 1 crystal reports viewer?

How can I open 2 seperate reports in 1 crystal reports viewer at a single time?
And when previewing the report, I see that my subreport doesn't filled its parent control width, how to Subreport width fill its parent width?
I use crystal reports for visual studio 2010.
As far as I know you can't have multiple reports show in the same viewer as the report gets bound to the viewer. Now there are some ways of getting around that and making it look like you have multiple reports showing in one viewer:
1) You could append multiple viewers to your page and suppress all toolbars.
2) You could make each of the reports into a subreport and put them into one report.
3) If the report is not going to be interactive(ie - paging, links, drill down, etc) you could just generate pdf's for each report and merge them.
And about your subreport not showing correctly: you need to format the subreport seperately to make it fit your page. Just formatting the subreport container will not help, you have to format the subreport itself.
Hope that helps!

Is it Possible??? if yes How???
Help Me.....
From what I can see it is definitely doable. Some people also raise custom JavaScript print dialogs instead of the MS one. Here are a couple of examples of more traditional print dialogs:
This SO thread shows you how to do it with and without a print dialog box.
