| I have a report that references images on a hard drive. The report runs ok from VS preview (but does give this warning: [rsWarningFetchingExternalImages] Images with external URL references will not display if the report is published to a report server without an UnattendedExecutionAccount or the target image(s) are not enabled for anonymous access.) and displays the images however when deployed to the server (on same PC) and the report is viewed from report manager it runs but the images are not displayed. If I move the images to:C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServerthen the images are displayed. I am testing with files in here at the moment:C:\Documents and Settings\steveha\My Documents\My PicturesHow do I allow access to the real folder/file locations? |

| just give source property as external and deploy the images on a folder on your reportserver. then give the path in reportserver as value property for image in report. |

| If I understand you correctly you are indicating to put the images under the reportserver virtual directory? I cannot do this the images could be on any hard drive on the server. These images are created by a program and thousands of them exist and new images are created every second in possibly new directories. They all sit under one top directory tree.The report is working from the point of view that the correct path is used but as I stated if the images are in C:\Documents and Settings\steveha\My Documents\My Pictures for example the images are not displayed but if I put them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServer they are displayed. So the conclusion I came to is that I must have to allow access to my folder tree somewhere, possibly under IIS?The property is external, the images are on a hard drive (same PC as sql server) and the path is correct. |

| I found the problem seemed to be that I was using C:\Documents and Settings\steveha\My Documents\My Pictures as my test location. As soon as I use c:\Images\ it works:) |
