Try the following, rather than a resource, add the report files under a folder e.g. Reports.

Add this class, change the namespace name.

using System;  
using System.IO;  
  
namespace TAPSNG.Helpers  
{  
    public class GeneralHelper  
    {  
        public static string AssemblyDirectory  
        {  
            get  
            {  
                string codeBase = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;  
                UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);  
                string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);  
                return Path.GetDirectoryName(path);  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}  
  

Sample usage, change the path and report name

GeneralHelper.AssemblyDirectory + "\\Reports\\Form132Quarter1.rdlc";
