I have a weird problem. When I run my reports from DevStudio the images (in the same directory) are displayed but when I run the reports from the reporting server (images in the same directory) they are not displayed. The report comes up though. Any insights???

Have you checked the case of the image filenames? I've been burned before (independent of WebFOCUS) with filenames that were mixed case. My local Win2K machine doesn't care about the case of the filename but my Unix Web server machine does.

So if the actual filename is Picture1.gif and the image reference is img src="picture1.gif" this works fine when viewed locally but fails on the unix web server because it can't find the file (mixed case file name).

Also, have you tried an explicit, rather than relative image reference? E.g., instead of img src="test1.gif" using img src="http://webserverurl/imagesfolder/test1.gif" (where "webserverurl" is your web server's domain name and "imagesfolder" is whatever folder the image is located in)? Is the behavior any different?

Thanks for the reply, the case in all cases is the same: Here is my unix directory content

$


And here is the snippet of my code

TYPE=REPORT,
IMAGE=btn_close_window.gif,
POSITION=(+5.000000 +0.000000),
ALT='Close Window',
JAVASCRIPT= closewin(),
$
I do not specify the path as both the program and the .gifs are in same directory. When I run in Dev Studio from this unix directory they display fine but when I run this thro either directly from webconsole or browser the image do not show.

i would suggest SET BASEURL=http://servername/ibi/wherever. ...
and put the directory name where all the images are.
it can't hurt from devstudio
and it willhelp when you run from some other environment.
Put it at the top of your fex.
Its just like SET FOCEXURL=
at the top of fexes that get emailed.
It tells MSOutlook where to find that webfocus cgi that a drilldown is calling to.
Any help?

I have a similar problem ...after upgrading from WebFOCUS 7.1.3 to 7.6.9, code that had mixed case filenames now gets an OPEN ERROR on the file.If I upper case it, it's fine. I just wondered if there was a way around having to change all coded filenames to upper case, since that would be extensive.
