Embed an image located in a network directory

[pistolpinoy72]

I have an asp where i wanted to embed an image that is sourced from a network directory. this image is located in network directory &quot;E:\image&quot; of my web server. it goes like this: <embed src=&quot;e:\image\picture.gif&quot;>

my problem is whenever i access the page in a different PC, the image is not displayed since the page is looking for the image file from &quot;e:\image&quot;.

thanks

You need to create an subweb, then map that subweb onto your network share and use that subweb to acces your pictures.

Virtual web directory named Images mapped to \\server\images for example

and then you can use
<embed src=&quot;\images\picture.gif&quot;>

That's sound interesting, but pardon my being a novice in this, how should i do that, create a subweb.

Thanks by the way.

Go to IIS Management Console and on the Web Service On Default Web Site, you should be able to create New Virtual Directory.
