Lisa,
You can have it on other servers, but the Reporting Services server
needs to be able to see those locations - and have permissions.
Initially, use UNC paths if you can rather than URL's which you
mentioned in your example. I say this only because I've got this
working with UNC's but not tried it with URL's!
