I have images(five) stored in a table. I would like to display these images dynamically on the report based on the report parameter that I am going to select.
For example, if I select parameter A, image B will be displayed in the header section on the report. If I select parameter X, image D will be displayed in the header section on the report
How can I do this?

Have you used RS yet? This is just a simple parameter that you pass to a query, preferably to a stored procedure.

What part do you need help with? Designing the report, writing a stored procedure, how to put the query in the report, etc...? Are you familiar with Reporting Services? Do you know how to write stored procedures that have input parameters?

Yes, I do familiar with all of the stuff that you mentioned.
I have a org table with org code
Org Code
1001
1002
1003
and image table
A.jpg 1001
B.jpg 1002
C.jpg 1003

I am trying to display the image in the header section of the report based on the report parameter that I am going to select ( ORG_ID)
For example, If I select ORG_Id 1001, A.jpg should be displayed in the header section of the report.

May be some example of stored procedure? and designing the report?

My problem is I can do this in the body section of report,but I can't do this in the header section of report.
I am keep getting an error:
" The value expression for the image ‘image2’ refers to a field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers."

use a group header for your page header then. Be sure to set the "repeat on new page" of the group header to True, and it will act just like page header. You can create a dummy group if needed, set the expression for the group equal to =1 or something like that.

(this tricks works for Access and crystal as well; most report designer apps don't let you put DB fields in page headers/footers)
