hi,

Is the issue when accessing over the web from different machine ? if yes then you mighthave to share the pics and give the share path like below

\\Servername\folder\image.

Hi Deepak,

yes..you are right..I can see these on my laptop...but when I post it to a server with a similiar folder structure as my laptop..and access it using web..cannot see it.

Where do I need to do these changes..in the script or in the excel source file?

Regards,

John.

Thanks Deepak...putting the actual path in the source file instead of the relative fixed it.
