Display tiff in Reporting Services

I have a file directory of tiff images that I need to display dynamically with reporting services. I receive the following error message: "The value of the MIMEType property for the image ‘image1’ is “image/tiff”, which is not a valid MIMEType." After looking it up sure enough tiff is not a valide type. Does anyone know of a way to display tiff images in reporting services.

Thanks,

Well I see plenty of threads on tiffs in the forums so it must be possible. I'm not sure why you're getting the error though.|||Not sure what your situation is, but one way to display a *.tif file in reporting services is to drag the image tool from the report items onto the canvas and select "Web" from the radio boxes options. Reference your url http://localhost/images/yourTIFname.tif. As far as doing this dynamically, I'm unclear as to what it is that your actually trying to do and why you want to do this in reporting services in the first place as apposed to some other means. There are a lot of easier ways to display images, instead of using reporting services to do this.|||I currently have it set to web however the images are not on a web server. I have to access them via a file path file:\\servername\image\1234.tif. The image tool in reporting services does not support the *.tif format. Is there a way to work around this limitation?|||

I wasn't able to find a solution. I'll have to force the users to publish their CADs in another format. If someone finds a solution in the future to display tiff images in ssrs please post it here for others to see.

Thanks,

Ross

Pardon me. The image control in a report does support TIF.

Could these be multi-page TIFFs by any chance? I guess those might not be supported.
