Patron photos in an SSRS report?

Hi, guys. It's possible to use a patron photo in an Infomaker report by storing a file on the network in a certain folder with the customer number as the main part of the file name, and then having your image object in the report point to that file path plus the computed file name based on customer number.

I am trying to pull off this same trick in SSRS and I'm not having luck. Has anyone managed this?

  • Depending on how you are doing this, the user ssrs is running as may not have permission to get to the folder.  Im not sure how you are referencing the images... unc path, (network) drive letter etc. .. many if which won't and some can't work.

     

    To attempt to remove permissions problems, if you shared the image folder as an anonymous internal iis web site, you could link to http://myserver/constuentIDno.jpg from your ssrs report.

     

    Someone else may have a better suggestion
