Hi!

I have deployed a report which is using an external image. The report runs fine if I run it from the folder that the report was deployed to in Report Manager. However, if I move the report to a different folder in Report Manager, the image becomes an empty box with a red 'x'. How can I get the image to remain visible after I have moved the report please? Im just starting out with SSRS so I appreciate the answer may be really obvious, but I cant figure it out! Maybe there is a better way to move reports that I dont know of?

Also, another related problem I have is as follows. Each time I deploy a report when it gets changed, it gets deployed to its original location in Report Manager, not to the folder I moved it to previously. This means that I have to delete the report I had moved previously, then move the new report to the correct location. Is there a better way of doing this? I thought that deploying the report would mean the newly deployed report would have replaced the report already present in Repot Manager?

Thanks
Naz

Just to add, if I leave the report where it has been deployed to in Report Manager, but move the image that has been deployed in Report Manager to another folder (called 'Resources' in my case), then this too makes the image disappear from the report.

Does the service account have access to the same folders you do personally? When you deploy is it on the same physical machine as the path to the images? If the report can't access the path..I am guessing it might be the problem. Only guessing though..



Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
