JI,
When you use '.\mylogo.png' or whatever, it will look in the browser's
local directory (somewhere under 'Temporary Internet Files' probably).
You have to specify a 'universal' URL - one you could copy/paste into a
web browser's URL and have it display your image.
If you want any static files served to your users, they should be in the
Base Path folder or one of its sub-folders. You can find the Base Path
in the CWS OCX:
- Switch your app's webserver form to Design mode
- Right-click the ocxServer control
- Select 'Properties...Corel Web Server Control'.
- Then, click on the PAGES tab.
- The top field should be Base Path.
For example, if your Base Path is C:\mydatafiles\pages, you can have an
'Images' subfolder and refer to:
http://mywebapp.com/images/jobwhatever.png
which will find the file
c:\mydatafiles\pages\images\jobwhatever.png
Also, what is the URL that you use to get to your app's original homepage?
HTH,
Jim Moseley
