>I have some bmp files in my app. they´re included in the project, and they are not distributed with the final app (wich are only data and .exe files). those bmps wich are used in forms appear ok, but those ins reports are not displayed; the message "invalid path or file name" appears and the report cannot be previewed nor printed.

Cristobal,
Pull these BMP's out of the EXE and for distribution, copy them in the same directory as the EXE. As a general note, I tend to avoid putting "big" bitmaps into the EXE since they can make your EXE huge in no time.
