I've tried this, and it's just slow. You better copy the files out to temp001.bmp, temp002.bmp (if you got them as Append Memo ... from test.bmp), and store the full filenames into a memo. Do this in a cursor you'll destroy later. In the report, add the olecontrol, and for the filename use the name of the memo which holds the paths as the source of the picture. You may need to surround it by parentheses, or use trim() or some function, just to let the expression parser know it should evaluate it instead of searching the disk for it.
After running the report, delete the tempxxx.bmp. If you have the pictures on the disk already, it's even easier - just have a field which holds their full paths, and use that as filename source.

Just tried it, works.
