Images on a report

I am trying to put an image behind a textbox. It's one of those rounded rectangles and the effect I'm after is that the text looks like it is inside a nice rectangle graphic. It looks fine in preview mode, but when I deploy the report the text is below the image and not 'inside' it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

dear,

What is the source of the image.

I mean from database,or web or Disk.

|||The image is embedded into the report - it resides on the disk of the server.
I've got round the problem to an extent by making a textbox, typing the text and then setting a background image that is exactly the same size as the textbox, but if you get the textbox slightly too big or small, it either cuts a bit off or repeats (I could switch off the repeat I s'pose).|||

Dear,

Set the backgroundrepeat option to norepeat.

Image on each pahe header

I can insert image in header from a database by using :
- in body a textbox (name = textbox33) with value:
=convert.toBase64String(first(fields!Image.value,"IMAGE"))
- in header an image with value:
=convert.fromBase64String(ReportItems!textbox33.value)
Image appears on first page only, after just a red X appears!!
Any ideas or a solution... Thanks.that's because textbox33 appears on 1st page only.

Hi All,
I need to have an image in my table. I dragged an image and dropped it on a
textbox. I set the datasource as Database MIMEType = jpeg and the value as
the databse column (this column is the path to the jpg image).
When I preview the report the image field contains a red X.
I really, really need help getting this to work.
RoyIf I understand correctly, you have a filepath in your database field (i.e.
'c:\images\someimage.jpg' ). The simplest way to do this is to store your
image a binary field inside your database (in a varbinary type field). Then
the report will display the contents of that field automatically.

your webserver (i.e. ="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/" &
Fields!FILE_PATH.Value ). This will be the "Value" property of your report's
image component. The "Source" property will be external. You can leave the
MIMEType blank.
Why do you think storing images is not a good idea?

assuming you have the image's file name in a field called FILE_NAME.
