I am puzzeled as to why one image type will show in the browser when the
report is viewed and the other type (jpg) will not.
I have both image files in the same folder as the report. When I view the
report with te gif image and select the properties for the image I get all
the infomationsuch as type = GIF location etc. When I use the jpg image I
get a red x box and no values show for the image when right clicked and the
properties option is selected.

Any ideas of why this may be?

Thanks,

I don't think you have the MIMEType property set on the image control. If
you are pulling the image from the database, you may need to use an
expression to set it accordingly.

Thanks Steve, here is a bit more clarification the file is coming from a file
within the same folder as the rdl file. and I if I understand your image type
statement, In the Report designer, in the propery window view, In the Data
item the MIMEtype property = image/jpeg the source property = External and
the value = the ftile name.

when this is changed to the gif file the inage type is blank, I tried that
with the jpg file and it still did not display

Some additional information. We I uploaded the files to a diiferent server
and the jpg images displayed as expected.
Could this be related to something server specific like IIS settings?

Are the .jpg and .gif files in the same location, it sounds like a path
issue on the server. There should be an error message in the RS log for
failure to render the image.
