Image not displayed while doing Subscriptions

Hi,

I have scheduled subscriptions for a report which has an image in it.

The report is subscribed to be saved in a Report Server File Share in HTML format.

When i open the saved report i see a placeholder x instead of the image.

When i change the subscription format to ADOBE pdf it works fine.

Has anyone faced this problem ?

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

Out-of-the-box file share delivery extension does not support saving all files for HTML (including images) into targeted share. You need to use MHTML format that allows embedding images (as MIME structures) within the report HTML.|||

Hey

Thanks. I changed it to Web Archive format and it renders them fine.

Just another question. Is there any doc on the internet which explains as to why Reporting Services does not support this out of the box.

THanks

Sam

|||I’m afraid this was not explicitly documented (I can't find such a doc) but I guess it was an intentional decision not to support this. Otherwise if delivery consists of more than 1 file than delivery should handle all cases related to file write operations (permissions, overwriting, file size, etc) for all files in a delivery which makes it more complicated and fragile.|||Thank you so much for all your help on this.

image control file share

I need to add an image in a report, the images are stored on a file share, i
get the path to the image from a database.
How do I set the image control properties to read from the file share. I
tried setting the Source as External and then put the unc path in the Value
property. But that did not work.
MikeHave you considered storing the images in your database? You could use a
varbinary field. It's easier to manage pictures that way IMOHO. And it works
really well in SSRS.

I believe that you have to use the "file:///" prefix in the URL in
order to tell the browser to pull from the local drives.
