hello, I'm trying to add an external image to my report in reporting services 2008. I gave the image the url (for ex: http://mysite/pic.jpg) and in the preview inside the vs2008 I can see the image with out a problem. after deploying the report to the server, I can only see a red X instead of the image and when I click on the X and choose "properties", I dont see my url in the image url but instead I see the report server url (for ex: http://sqlservername/reportserver/).Any body know this problem? again: I can see the image from the preview and I gave permissiom to "everybody" on the directory of the image but the report doesn't even try to get the image. Thanks!

Question was answered on another forum: The unattended execution account must be initilize or I should configure my picture directory to run with anonymous user. Thanks.

I tried this myself and the unattended execution account initialization worked for my local Report Server but did NOTHING on the Sharepoint Report Server. I still get a Red X where the image should be. I am researching other answers.
