Question

I have a header image that needs to be repeated in the header of multiple reports. I am aware that you can add an image to a report and point to a path where the image file reside, like file://C:\path\to\Reports\Images\logo.gif, but that path can and will change when the app is deployed.

I tried using a relative path like (assuming the reports are in the Reports/ folder) Images/logo.gif (or Images\logo.gif), but this just produces a broken image both in the designer and on the actual output. Is my syntax incorrect? If not, is there a way to do something like this?

EDIT: I also know about embedding an image into a report, but then this image would need to be embedded into every report, and if it needed to be changed, it would have to be changed individually in every report.

What we ended up doing was described in this blog post. We decided it was Good Enough of a solution, even if the path is, for now, hard-coded in there.
