Display images from a folder

[alvintse]

In CR 9, is this possible to display images from my local hard disk?
I have all the image files stored in the same folder. Say, c:\images. The file names are a.jpg, b.jpg, c.jpg. .....

In the report, I want to display like this:

a.jpg Product Name a Qtr.
b.jpg Product Name b Qtr.
c.jpg Product Name c Qtr.
...............
...............

That would be easy if I can store all the images to the database. However, I don't know how I can do this in MS SQL server.

It's easier to keep them in the database, here's the CR whitepaper:

You might use a hyperlink to each file by storing it's location in the database, but it would require that the user click on the link.
