Images are very cache-persistent. Don't forget that there could be many caches between your server and the user's browser. Maybe the old image is being cached at the user's ISP. One way to force a reload is to generate a random string and append it to the image URL each time the page is loaded, eg: <IMG SRC="images/picture34.gif?20854275"> Regards: Ayudh
