Mapping to an image on a different server.

[Gatorajc]

How would I map to an image on a different server. Its on an intranet so there is no problem mapping a drive or anything like that. I am using an active x viewer. The web server is already mapped to the server the image is on.

Ive tried these few ways:

E:\orders\435549996.tif

//imageserver/orders/435549996.tif

\\imageserver\orders\435549996.tif

Thanks in advance

hmmm I do not know but maybe you can run a webserver on that server to and put the image in it and then use this

<img src=&quot;

http://imageserver/'the

folder where it is on the webserver'/'the filename'&quot;>

everything between '' must be replaced by what you realy have and remove the '' (hmm you probably know )

good luck.

That may not be an option. The webserver has a mapped drive to the server the image is on. Is there not some src path that will read that drive. Something like.

../../../435549996.tif

This does not work obviously but there has to be a way

Does the other server have any services running like HTTP or FTP? If so, maybe you could use the IP address.

Actually I solved it. Just created a virtual directory. Duh. Should have known better.
