I have an image stored in my database that is going to dynamically change between pages. However, what seems to be happening is that it takes the first image it runs into, and repeats it across all pages. Has anyone else ran into this?
I have used dynamic images before but haven't had this issue - though my images were not in a database.
What are you using for the Value of the image?
Is your image in a table so it goes through the dataset records? If your image isn't part of a table, it won't know to select different images. For instance, if I was showing a report of employees and had an avatar image of each employee, I would have the database image field as part of the query. The image would be inside the table and reference the image field. The image would change as the employee grouping changed from one person to the next.
If your paging isn't determined by something in your dataset, you'll have to come up with some logic to calculate which picture to show and when - probably using the global page number - Globals!PageNumber. That might be tricky with them in a table though.

I have a table that get a data from dataset. The table is larger then a one page. When I export to PDF the table cut in the middle and without a borders.
I tried to use rectangle and it's not working for me. I tried to use in expression like this "=ROWNUMBER(Nothing)/50" and it's not working too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
follow below steps :
1. create parent group on your tablix.
Once you click on Parent Group, it will open a Tablix Group window. In the Group By expression, enter =CEILING(RowNumber(Nothing)/25) where 25 is the number of records to be displayed per page.
you can go to the created group properties for more options to try out.
I have 2 tablix one Table and one Matrix that are lined up side by side. They have relational data that I can't combine in a single query. They line up perfectly when exported and appear to line up correctly inside the original report as well. However, when it goes to load a new "Page" in Preview it loads an extra row for the matrix as compared to the table which makes the rest of the values off by 1 for each page that gets loaded.
Is there a good way to make sure they load the same number of rows on each page?
I have 2 suggestions. You probably already tried the first, but just want to make sure it's covered.
Check the properties to make sure the location from the top is exactly the same. Also use a whole number, not some random fraction because it can have rounding issues.
Add a rectangle to the report. Drag both tables onto the rectangle. Having multiple objects inside a rectangle helps to hold them together in position when the report renders.
I'm trying to design a report where images are retrieved and displayed on the page. Essentially, like a picture catalog, where I have a header, some detail lines, and a number of pictures, depending on what is stored in the database.
Perhaps the best way is by a quick example
Christmas Pictures (master row)
Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture N
label 1 label 2 label 3 label N
so from the above, each picture is a separate data row, with an image and its corresponding row.
Does anyone have experience or tips on how to accomplish this?
I presently use SSRS 2008 R2, but am open to an alternative reporting tool if it can do the job.
thanks in advance.
How are the pictures stored? Are they stored in your database?

If they are in a table (myImages), where you have an imageID, imageData, imageDescription, all you have to do is make a dataset that gathers those images and put them in a table...? Group by the imageID. Make two rows, one for the image, one for the heading/caption/whatever, both in the imageID group (which doesn't have to show or be a column, just the field that you're grouping by).
If you need it to go across by 4 pictures each row or something, this link is really good for setting up horizontal tables:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrishays/archive/2004/07/23/horizontaltables.aspx
I have a report in MS Access with 4 image controls. In the format event of the detail section I have code that sets the picture property based on the values of fields in DAO.recordset. Below is an example of my code.
For i = 0 To 3
If Not rs.EOF Then
Me.Controls("img" & i).Picture = blobGet(rs!phBlobId)
rs.MoveNext
Else
Me.Controls("img" & i).Picture = ""
End If
Next i
Basically the rs!phBlobId field is a file name. The blobGet function returns the full path to the picture which then sets the picture property of the correct control in the detail section of my report.
I'm not sure all of the causes but under certain circumstances the pictures will not show up in the controls. I have a similar set up on a form and have no trouble at all there, I only have the issue when on a report.
One thing that seems to possibly be the cause is the size of the picture. If I insert a large picture (say over 5 megs) it sometimes won't show up. With different combination of pictures different ones show up.
I am open to both solutions to my problem as described above or to alternative ideas how to show these pictures on the report. One absolute requirement is that the pictures be set with VBA as the exact arrangement of the pictures varies based on an unrelated variable.
The solution I came up with was to simply resize the images using imageMagick. This actually provides me with a couple advantages. Not the least of which is a substantial performance improvement since I am dealing with smaller images.
I'm using a table on my report to present the data. Since it was a lot of data and I wanted to print the report on a A4 page, I split each row into 3 different rows.
My problem is when the report goes to the second page, I want it to break before or after the 3 rows.
example:
name age
address
contact
name age
address
contact
name age
address
* page break *
contact
this is what normally happens. I want to ensure that the page break only happens on the lines.
There are multiple strategies to follow:
The KeepTogether is useful in this case
If you want it to fit on one page only try adjusting page margins, padding, font size, line height to make the report render more compactly
Another alternative is to create a table group on the person, and from the group properties (edit group) check the page break at end property. this way you can have each group on a separate page
Hope this helps
I'm ended up creating a subreport to represent each item.
I looked for the KeepTogether property but that's probably only for reporting services 2008 (I'm using 2005).
If you have the table in a subreport, you must also Right Click -> Format Object -> Uncheck Keep object together.
This was the step that did it for me after I unchecked Keep object together on the table and the subreport details.
I had the same problem, tried 'Keep together' and it didn't work. After a long time of changing and trying many things the one thing that did the job was reducing the bottom margin of a page.
