| I think you can have a string parameter through which you pass the path of image and you can place an image in your report and give an expression for the value property as:-=Parameters!ImagePath.Value |

| Once you add the parameter dont specify any value in the parameter tab. Just go to layout tab and drag and drop a image from toolbar. Goto properties window of image and set value as=Parameters!Imageparametername.Value Then goto preview tab and report shows the created parameter with a text box. Enter the path and click view report to see the image.Also make sure you add the image to your local report project for locally displaying the image and no need to give full path but just give image name alone. But while deploying to server you need to deploy image first to shared folder on report server and give path of image as /<sharedfolder>/image.jpg |

| Hi Visakh,I did what u said to do exactly. But still I am having some probs.The problem is...when i went to the preview tab, i entered the path and i clicked the 'view report'.Then i got that image. But if i dont enter the path and if i click the view report, then also i am getting the image (bcoz i think i dragged tht image in the layout tab).what i exactly want is.....i want the report to be the same for different merchants(images)....is it possible in anyway tht when i enter the path with image name (like C:\MyDocuments\image1.jpg),it should pick that image and display it in the right hand corner of the page header.....Thanks,Raaj... |

Why you dragged a particular image? I had told you to add generic image control from toolbar. Also can you post your currently used expression for image?Have you given any default value for the image path parameter? |

I was refering to same image in toolbox. But didnt get how you see only one of images even when you're passing no image path. Another thing you could do is to drag two images in your report and set the visibility property of images based on parameter value.i.e like if parameter value is image 1 set image 1 to be visible if 2 then image 2,... |
