SSRS error: The Value for the image 'Image1' has a constant value...

  • Full error message:

    SSRS error: The Value for the image 'Image1' has a constant value. Value requires a binary value, so it cannot be a constant.

    The image is in the "Page Header", and comes from a database column that was originally the image data type, but doing a convert on the query to the VARBINARY(MAX) data type didn't change anything.   The data for the image is in the column and the value is identical across all rows for the query...  not sure if I can get the image as a physical file.   Any ideas ?

  • Turns out I was able to find an embedded image that I could use from another .rdl file in the project, and while I had to copy and paste from the raw xml in the file, I've done that before and had success, so I'm very comfortable with doing such things.   The report successfully displays it as well....  although I do still wish I knew exactly what caused the error, so do please feel free to offer up a working solution.
