I do it by building the complete path using the path of the main stack.
Supposing you have your application or stack in it's own folder and in that folder, you have your "Gifs1B" folder containing the images.
Have a function in your mainStack that gives you the full path to your images folder as follows:
function getImageFolder put the fileName of this stack into tName set the itemDel to "/" put "Gifs1B" into last item of tName return tName & "/" end getImageFolder
Now when you want to set the imageSource, do something like:
put getImageFolder() & "60034gQ.gif" into itemgif set the imagesource of char imageplace of fld "test" to itemgif
I have only done this for images rather than characters in a field, but I am sure it will work.

I have several gif images that I want to appear in appropriate places in a field. The imagesource property works perfectly if the gif image file is in the same folder as the Revolution application or in the same folder with the standalone:
put "60034gQ.gif" into itemgif set the imagesource of char imageplace of fld "test" to itemgif
However, putting those same gif images into their own folder (called Gifs1B), residing in the Rev. application or standalone folder, with the following script, does not work:
put "Gifs1B/60034gQ.gif" into itemgif set the imagesource of char imageplace of fld "test" to itemgif
Nor does "/Gifs1B/60034gQ.gif", nor does including the whole path name to the file.
How can I get imagesource to pull the gifs out of their own folder?
Thanks, Dave
