Hi All,

I am using 2008 R2. I am trying to move from embedded to external images but I can not get it to work.

I have an image: logo.png.

In the home SSRS folder I created a folder called images. I can browse to this folder and view my logo.

When I do I get a URL like: http://Myserver/Reports/Pages/Resource.aspx?ItemPath=%2fImages%2fLogo.png

In BIDS I add an image set it to external and use the above link. No image is returned, just the dreaded red X.

Can anyone help?

try changing the name of the image to
images/logo.png

I think that reporting services is probably attempting to use a path relative to the location of the report and is probably appending the string you entered for the name of the image to the path to the report.
