Add Images To SSRS Report At Report Run Time
Hello Experts
I need to create an SSRS report, that will show some SQL data and an image of the associated product. The image's path will be generated from the SQL Guid code. The images themselves are stored on a seperate file server.
So my goal is to have the report run, generate the report and on each line, use the generated path to get the correct image from the file store.
Hope that makes sense.
Where I am having an issue, is getting the image to display.
It is coming up blank every time, even though the tested path is accurate.
the image holder is set to External (but I have tried all other options in the drop list)
I have tried recreating the path as an expression but this just comes up with an #error
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

@lochan: Aarrrggg... Its obviously Monday!
I did have access to the folder but I guess the report is run under the SSRS context? I changed security on the folder to include Authenticated Users for Read Only and Voila! I have images in my reports.
Thansk for your help in knocking some sense into my head.

Sorry didn't get back to you earlier but yeah....as you noticed it is all around NT authentication - SSRS service account and NT users running the reports after that.
