Source Filename for Boilerplate image

Question

Hello - I am trying to use someone elses report in Oracle Reports 10g. They have many images in the report which, when I try to go into paper layout, cannot be found. Currently the property just lists the image name (ex - logo.jpg), and not the entire path. Is there something I can setup in my registry so it knows where to look for these images? I do not want to specify the entire path in the Source Filename property. I know in Forms 6i I added an icon path to my ui_icon key so I wondered if there was some other key like that for Reports 10g. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
You can use the REPORTS_PATH variable :

Usage notes
To ensure the portability of your reports, you can take advantage of the Reports Builder-specific environment variable called REPORTS_PATH. You can use this variable to specify the default directory or directories where you want Reports Builder to search for external files you use in your reports (for example, external queries, boilerplate, and PL/SQL). This prevents the need to hardcode directory paths in your report.
