I wonder if everyone has this same problem as I? I save a blank document on a network share say W:\test.doc I open this document and click “insert” “picture” “from File” Browse to my W:\ and find pic.jpg and choose “Insert” “link to file” and save the document and close and reopen the file. I toggle “ALT F9” and the linked picture appears fine. I decide to add another picture link for a file on the R:\ called pic2.jpg to the same document and follow the same instructions above. I save and close word, open the “test.doc” again and for some reason the linked file from R:\ just comes up as an empty box with the red microsoft “X” in the top left corner, but pic.jpg looks great.

The file linked from W:\ has the following link code {INCLUDEPICTURE”../../../pic.jpg” \*MERGEFORMAT \d }
This works.

The file linked from R:\ has the following link code
{INCLUDEPICTURE”../../../reports$/pic2.jpg” \*MERGEFORMAT \d }
This does not work.

the user has read/write access to both network shares

Any suggestions to this dilemma?
