Hello Summer, Is the graphic being returned via a rule to that variable and specified in the Graphic Frame Properties GUI? Try specifying the location of the resoure in the Composition Settings Menu's "Advanced" tab. Enter the search path and test.

Hello everyone, I have a brochure template in the works with the hope that the customer can upload their own photo to one panel. If they don't have a photo to upload, then a default photo will appear in the blank space. I do not have any rules in place for this image, Switch Graphic or otherwise, and that might be my problem. (Since graphic values are specified in a Switch Rule, I don't think I can use that rule? I don't know the file names that the customers will be uploading so I'm not sure how that rule would function.) Ultimately I need the customer to have the choice to upload their own photo using a Drop Down with Browse option and if they don't have a photo, they will choose Default (or it will be chosen for them). For some reason, the default photo that I have chosen doesn't appear in my preview or when I compose the brochure offline. Consequently this isn't going to work on the web either. The file is a TIF, it's at the root level of the FusionPro files/graphics and it's recognized as a resource. I have the same field value assigned in the data file. I've checked the FAQ section of Printable to find out why the graphic won't appear and I'm not getting very far. I don't have any strange/illegal characters in the name, can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks!!! ~Summer +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- FusionPro 5.0 Now Available!
