Image field value trancates at #

[cgomez12]

Hello all, i am having the following issue and would appreciate any assistance given, thank you!

Running SQL 2005 with Reporting Sertvices, using VS2005 to develop reports.

I have a report with an External "WEB" image which links to the image via a UNC path, like "\\server\folder\# 888 lot 48387.bmp".

The properties on this field are:
Source = External
Value = =Fields!Img.Value

Img.value is pulled from the database and the data looks like this:
file:\\server\folder\image 052377 # 142.bmp
file:\\server\folder\image 052377 # 150.bmp
file:\\server\folder\image 052377 # 155.bmp
file:\\server\folder\# 177 image.bmp

The issue is that RS2005 is truncating the image name at the "#" character. So when the report is rendered, the Img.Value looks as follows:
file:\\server\folder\image 052377
file:\\server\folder\image 052377
file:\\server\folder\image 052377
file:\\server\folder\

Why does this happen? How can i resolve?

thank you!
