    Yes, does the png file exist on the other computer? , or is the path the same?

    the png files do exist on the other computer and the path is correct. I should have pointed out that the program is running off a shared drive on a network. The computer that is calling the program is doing so over the network.

    Each user should have their own front end?
    Is the mapping the same for all computers?

    Maybe I'm not explaining this correctly. I have a server at the main office where the application is running. There is a computer at a remote office that has a shortcut pointing to the program on the server. On the report, I have an image field which points to the signature file on the server. If I run the program directly on the server (not over the network), the signature is displayed on the report. However, if I run the program using a shortcut on the remote computer pointing to the server, the signature does not display. The program is located on a shared drive on the server and all of the signature files are also located on the same shared drive.
