I am trying to embed images within the detail line of my report. It appearse
that this should be easy, the primary problem is the images are .tif . From
everything I am seeing .tifs do not appear to be supported. Is this the case
or am I selecting the wrong option somehow along the way? I find this odd as
Tifs seem to be very common!
The path to each image is stored in a field in my datavbase, so I am trying
to insert the path to the image somewhere in my images properties.
Thanks in advance.I had the almost same problem like you. Actually RS2000 doesn't support to
show Tiff format images in a report, just export is ok. In my case, I created
a web app to convert tiff to jpg, and then used external source to get images
from the web developed. Maybe it'll be fixed later.

make a difference.
I am trying to link them to an image control dynamically.
Unfortunately a report could contain THOUSANDS of tifs. Converting them to
jpg's or something else compatable would not be a viable option. I can do
what I need to do in Crystal, but I wanted to keep all of my reporting
together in one interface. This is the only report that I can not do through
reporting services.

Images from a Database in Header
Hi All,
I'm trying to embed an image in a report header and so far I have had no
luck, the image comes from a DB field based on the report parameters. I have
read the info at the link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms159677.aspx, tried it
and still did not work.
If I create an image as specified in the aforementioned link - nothing is
displayed, if I copy that image object and paste it in the body of the report
- the image is shown.
Am I missing something? Has somebody got this to work?
Thanks for your help,
ChrisHi Chris,
Are you using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services?
Are you adding a fixed image in the Report Header or adding data bounded
images in the Header?
If you are adding a fixed image, make sure you select Embeded Image in the
Wizard
Would you please let me know the detailed steps you are using to reproduce
this error message?
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!

Yes I'm using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I'm adding a data bound image in the Header. I'm following the steps
mentioned in the link I added to my original post. Basically the recommended
workaround is to add a hidden textbox in the body of the report and reference
that textbox in the image in the header. The image in the header doesn't give
me any errors but it doesn't display either. If using the report designer I
copy the image from the header and paste it as part of the body of the
report, the image displays.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

How did your image stored in database as base64 encoded? If not, I am
afraid you cannot display the image in this way. It would be appreciated if
you could provide me a sample database file (that I could use to attach
directly on my side) to reproduce it on my side.
I understand the information may be sensitive to you, my direct email
address is v-mingqc@.ONLINEmicrosoft.com (please make sure you have removed

will keep secure.

=====================================================This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.|||I am having the same exact problem. Just one more piece of information: when
the image does not display in the header, if I go to print the report and
look at a print preview, the image IS displaying. The image also displays if
I export the report to PDF format. It just won't display in the Report
Manager web page. I've tried it with BMP and JPG images; both behave the same.
Also, if I try to set the background image for a text box control in the
header, using the same mechanism, the image does not show up at all.

Thanks Brian for the inputs.
Yes, we have noticed it will be displayed correctly in Print Preview mode
and it will also be displayed when rendered. I believe this should be a
problem in our product and I have notify the devlopment team about this,
they will look into this.
However, if this will impact your business much, I would recommend you open
an incident with Microsoft Customer Service and Support so that a dedicated
Support Professional can assist with this case. If you need any help in
this regard, please let me know.

Images
When you have a column property set to image, does it link to or does it embed the image in the table?
Davids Learning
If you specify the coloumn as image, this simply means that you are storing binary data. The name image is sometime is bit misleading :-)HTH, jens Suessmeyer.
http://www.sqlserver2005.de|||If you needed to store an image like a tiff,bitmap,jpeg, what would you use?|||
Hi !
If you are in SQL Server 2005, I would prefer the VARBINARY(MAX),as the IMAGE and the TEXT are tro be deprecated in further versions. If you are on SQL Server 2000, I would prefer using either the IMAGE or the TEXT (in common it makes no difference, because they are nearly implemented the same way, beside that the TEXT type has some extra function which on work on that type). In this case, as you appearantly will need no functions of the TEXT type, I would choose IMAGE.
HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.
