You won't be able to do that - this feature is only supported in the newest versions of Crystal. For older versions, the only way to handle this is to actually store the image itself (as a binary object) in the database and display it on the report that way. The of course add a tremendous amount of size to your database and I don't know how well mySql will handle it.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse is a free Eclipse plug in that allows you to create reports and embed them into your Java applications. What version of Crystal do you have? If it is CR10 or before then reku's link should resolve the issue. If you have CR XI then you should be able to use the path straight from the database.
