Embed a column on to a image

  • This is something that is easy to do in Crystal Reports, but I have found an way to do it in SSRS.  I have a picture (image of state form) and I want to put database columns (fields) in the appropriate places on the image.

    Thus the resulting report would be one or more pages with a dataset record on each 'page' of the report (I hope this makes sense).

    I will admit that I have not used SSRS very much, so be gentle on me.

  • Figured out what I needed to do (found the answer in a training manual from a couple of years ago).  I just needed to drop in a list box on the page.  Set the background of the list box to be the image I needed.  It appears that in my initial testing it will work for what I need.

    Thanks for posting back...that makes sense. I had no idea what you were asking in your original post. But no idea how to word that better either....
