Once I try something out of my head, without testing, and of course it won't work.
So the alternate solution would be to store the image in a binary memo in a table which would be included in the project, and copy it out of there, run the report, delete the bitmap.

And I was under an impression that the reports were included in the project. If they aren't... I really don't know how to prevent this.
