It depends on what you are putting in the custom field to define your thumbnail. Some people put just the file name of the image while others put the full url to the image. Also, let us know what you are calling your custom field and an example of a custom field value and we'll get you headed in the right direction.

Well I call the custom field key " Image" the value"the link of the image"
However it's doesn't work I've tried more than 20 times. even I just put the name of image in the value field.

Assuming 2 things:
1. Your custom field is called: Image
2. The value of your custom field is something like: http://www.domain.com/images/myImage.jpg
Find this code in your template file:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Immediately after add:
<?php $key="Image"; $postimage = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>
To display the image add the below code anywhere in The Loop where you want the image displayed:
<img src="<?php echo $postimage; ?>" />
Again, this is assuming your custom field is named "Image" and the value of that field is a fully qualified URL to an image file.
Hope that helps.
