Jim,

The landing page, index.HTML, is in a folder named C:\AAA-job cost 
tools. Index.htm contains a Login button which, when pressed,  goes 
through a Paradox verification script and generates a Paradox-built main 
menu. That is not an html file that resides on disk. It's created on the 
fly.

The jobcosttools.png image is the one I want on the main menu. That .png 
image is everywhere on the server.

In the root (C:\),
In the C:\AAA-job cost tools folder)
In the working directory (:WORK:)

The snippet I posted was a test using the sample-created code to try to 
locate the PNG file.

I even created an Images submenu for the file with jobcosttools.png in it.

I tried it with this statement as you suggested.

<IMG Alt="JCT" src="http://jct.consoftonline.com/images/jobcosttools.png">

It just displays the JCT


This issue is no different than the one I posted 3 years ago and had no 
success with implementing images in spite of everyone's best advice.
