Steve,

I discovered the source of the problem, and it is apparently related to the CGI program on the Web server!

I found that I had the same problem when I tried to access a particular graphic from a regular Web browser. Either it worked, or I got a "File Not Found" message.

Here's why.  Here's the URL for a typical graphic:

    http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/tmpdir/gnt/110404.gif

The important thing to note is this part of the URL:  "tmpdir".

Apparently (and I have no idea why), the CGI program only puts a GIF file in the tempdir/gnt folder when the graphics file is needed,. i.e., when a call is made to display all the verses for a particular chapter. (I was able to look at the date stamp for the files in that directory to confirm that this is what seems to be taking place.)

My program now seems to work, with the addition of the following code before the desired display of a single verse/graphic.

HTMLViewer1.LoadURL "http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/cgi-bin/gnt?id="_
     + TheBook + TheChapter

Another mystery solved! Thanks for comments that got me thinking in the right direction.

Assuming it's not just a server fault, my guess would be the CGI has a

Do you get better results with this?
M = "http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/tmpdir/gnt/"; _
   + TheBook + TheChapter + TheVerse + ".gif"
 HTMLViewer1.LoadURL M
