Note:
This option does not appear if the original file was a metafile.

Microsoft Paint, or another graphics application installed on your machine, opens.
14.6 Working with embedded vs. linked objects
Since embedded and linked objects each have different properties, it is important for you to consider
the capabilities of each when deciding which OLE format to use.
14.6.1 Embedded objects
An embedded object can be created from within Crystal Reports or by using a file that already exists.
If you use an existing file, the object is copied to the report.
When changes are made to an embedded object it does not affect the original file and vice versa. The
changes are made only to the object within your report.
