Incorrect Positioning?

Hi,

I have created a couple of reports with a header that contains an embedded image and a textbox just to the right of the image, vertically aligned. So far so good but when i deploy the report it doesn't show exactly as in the preview...
Instead the textbox seems to goto another column? Yes it seems that some how a new column is created and the textbox is the only thing to be in it...

Anyone experiencing this? What can be causing this?

Best Regards,

Luis Simoes

It sounds like the image and the textbox overlap. This is only supported in image-based rendering (e.g. Preview, PDF). We currently don't support overlapping items in HTML (when viewed e.g. through report viewer in report manager). This is why one of the overlapping items will get pushed to the right/bottom in the generated output.

No, they are not overlapped. They are side by side!

What can it be? That's really weird behavior.. only the text box on the right side of the embedded image get's to a new blank column...

This is the layout of the report:

Image here	Textbox here
Rest of the report

|||I have the same problem. The funniest thing is it depends of the image if textbox is moved or not. When I show the bigger image (property set to fit) textbox is ok side by side but when the image is smaller then the textbox is moved to the next page. Any sollution in this case?|||Got it! I inserted both image and textbox to the header-section and now it works. Strange...sql

Including Images in Reports

Is it possible to include an image within a SQL Server Report?
e.g. 1. The image URI is stored in the database, can the report load this
external URI into the report?
e.g. 2. The image data is stored in the Database as binary, can the report
render the Image?
Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!Drag the Image control from the Toolbox onto your report in Layout view. The
Image Wizard will run and you will see all the options you want. And yes,
both scenarios you describe below are supported.
