I can't seem to figure out how to add data-bound images to a report when the
database only holds the url for the images, not the binary images
themselves. Do images really need to be stored in the database in order to
be data-bound? If so, I wonder if it is possible to create a sp that can
dynamically pull the image from the image-path. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Thanks.Elmer:
I am trying to work out the exact same thing. I've posted my question here
twice and not gotten a reply.
If you happen to figure it out, I'd greatly appreciate a reply here.

binding the report to an SSIS package, but this solution may take me longer
to implement and may not perform as well.
