Hi, I need to show images in the report based on the urls from the db. The images are stored within a folder and not in the db (only the url in db). I couldnt find any way to give an url in the report and show the image. I'm stuck here , couldyou please help? Thanks, Sonu.

Make sure that the the image control's Source property is set to External. Set the Value property to "=Fields!ColumnWithURL.Value". You need to make sure the URL is valid (can you paste it into your web browser and see it?). Also, is the image enabled for anonymous access? If not, you need to set up the UnattendedExecutionAccount.

Hello John, Thanks for such a quick response. Yes, the image control's Source property is set to External and the value is set as the corresponding field. One correction, the path we are getting from db is NOT an url The images are just shared from one of the machines in the network (for eg:- \\machine1\pics\image1).Will such a path work? Or do we need to host it somewhere? Thanks in advance. Thanks, Sonu

Try using file:// as a prefix before the path (i.e., file://\\machine1\pics\image1)

Hi John, Thanks a lot... it works fine... Thanks again, Sonu

Hi, The image comes on 'Preview' of the reportbut not on deploying the report. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sonu

Check my earlier post. The Unattended Execution account needs to be set to something with access to the file location. My preference has always been to host the images on a web server, as it makes resolving these issues easier.

Thanks John, I will host the images on the server. Thanks, Sonu.

Can you mark the responses that helped as answers? It helps ensure better search results. Thanks,
