Thank you everyone - it's working now. I have a related question, though it's not about referencing. It seems that now that I'm going through java, the images often can't be read because their title contains odd characters - characters that are fine in CF, for example "joe_smiling (small).jpg". In this case the parens mess it up, but I'm not sure what else might.
Clearly I should cleanse the image name on the way in. I don't work in java much, so I'm not sure which chars to replace. I have something that cleanses chars but it's not useful for this. I've been googling for illegal path characters but haven't found a list yet. daniel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305258 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
