How to use image from the current directory?
I've gone with an image stored in a varbinary field in the database. But it would be so much more simple if I could just refer to an image on the server in the current folder. Is this possible somehow?

set the image to external and url to ./image.name

That doesn't work. I don't even get the "broken image" symbol where the picture should be.

This is the reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220527.aspx Try it without the ./ or you can specify the full url: =Globals.ReportServerUrl+Globals.ReportFolder+image.name (you may need to add +"/" between the reportfolder and image.name.

With just the image.name it's working fine, now. I was probably using the full resource?blahblahblah URL from SharePoint before, which was hard-coded. Your second solution there with the globals references doesn't work (needed a slash before image.name), though; I added it to a text field to get the output and copied/pasted that into my browser and it seems SharePoint integration doesn't like you getting at stuff that way. Nothing is ever simple (except the solo "image.name"). thank you!

I'd like to use an external image path that's just a reference to an image in the current folder (on a 2008 reporting server in native mode, with reports accessible via a SharePoint interface). The reason I'd like to use the image in the current directory is because it's a logo, and I'll be publishing the reports (as soon as I add more configurations to the BIDS configuration manager) in other folders with different logos. I don't want to have to change the image URLs in all my reports each time I go to publish multiple versions. What's more is that after publishing them with full URLs (which previewed fine in BIDS) they aren't showing up via a web browser - I just get the ALT text for some reason. Can this be done, anyway?
