    Hello,

    I am trying to add an employee picture from a local folder to the profile report.

    The report will pull various data and their employee ID. I want the image pulled to be that ID.jpg.

    The method I am trying is "="file:c:\temp\" + fields!employeeID.Value + ".jpg"

    No luck.

    TIA

    Are you using the image control from the toolbox?

    the Image source should be external.

    The Expression should be something like.

    ="/Images/" + Fields!EmployeeID.Value + ".jpg"

    The reference to the image cannot be a location on the hard drive, It needs to be a reference to the image in the same folder as the project, or on a web server.

    Check out this link about referencing external images. There's probably tons of thers.
