Excel with embedded graph on a multi-tier environment

We have a multi-tier environment where the reporting server can access the web server.

I APP MAP to a folder on the web server and generate graph images there. Then I embed the images in an EXL2K formatted report. When the file opens, the image that is embedded via the WF stylesheet IMAGE property does not work - no image is displayed in the HEADING, not even a place-holder box. The image that is embedded via the <IMG tag works - an image is displayed in the FOOTING.

I can't seem to embedd images using the style-sheet IMAGE property. Am I doing something wrong?

SET GRAPHSERVURL = ''
-RUN

APP MAP APP1WEB \\MyWebServer\apps\app1
-RUN

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM WEIGHT
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS APP1WEB/GRAPH1 FORMAT GIF
END
-RUN

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM HEIGHT
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS APP1WEB/GRAPH2 FORMAT GIF
END
-RUN

-SET &IMAGE1_URL = 'http://MyWebServer/app1/graph1.gif';
-SET &IMAGE2_URL = 'http://MyWebServer/app1/graph2.gif';

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
COMPUTE IMAGE2/A100 = '<img src="&IMAGE2_URL" />'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY

HEADING
"HEADING"
" "

FOOTING
"FOOTING"
"<IMAGE2"

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, IMAGE=&IMAGE1_URL , $
ENDSTYLE

ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-RUN

I didn't think EXL2K supported images from the stylesheet.

thats why I created the this technique to add them to the excel file at the WebFOCUS server.
