External image not displayed in report manager

Hello,
I have a problem and I don't know how to solve it. I hope you guy's
know.
I have a report with a external image which refers to a image on a
SharePoint intranet site. When I preview the report in visual studio
the image is visible. But when I deploy the report to the report server
the image is not displayed and a red cross is showing. I have already
set the execution account on the report server but still not working.
When I enter the URL of the image in the browser on the report server
the image is visible. I don't understand what I do wrong? Hope someone
knows!
I use reporting service 2005
Regards,
Robbert Visscher
HollandI had this problem once. I had to enable anonymous access to the
virtual directory for the images folder.
Not sure if that is what your problem is, but maybe...

should handle it.

understand why it not works in de report manager?|||Import(upload) the image file on to the report manger|||Thanks for your answer but it is not a good solution. It has to work
like this way. But why is it not working? It works fine in visual
studio. I have already read a lot of questions on the Internet about
this problem but no one can solve the problem. Maby it is a bug? I
think that the unattended execution account is not working with
reporting service 2005. I have already installed SP1 and the latest
hotfix. So does anyone know what it could be or confirm it is a Bug?

the Preview tab, it is using your credentials. When it runs via Report
Manager, it does not use your credentials.
Does the ID that SSRS is running under have access to SharePoint?

Thanks for your answer! I have set the credentials in the report
manager which are the same as mine credentials. I have set the
unattended execution account and the Windows service identity as the
same I use in visual studio. Also when I acces the URL in the browser
the image is visible. I have access to the share point site because I
see the image in the browser. I hope you know a solution! Thanks!

source), I received a warning stating that images would not display
correctly unless an unattended execution account or anonymous access
was configured. Because this was an "OR", I am assuming that you only
need 1 or the other.
My thought was to enable anonymous access, try your report, and disable
anonymous again, just to see if that solves the problem.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

bitmap file. I re-saved it as a jpeg and then it worked fine.

that i get red crosses in the report manager. I don't understand it.
