.MHTML

[Guest]

We have developed an application in Acess 2000. We have used .mhtml to
publish the help files. First it was completed in Word, then saved as a web
page .html and then saved as an archive file .mhtml. It includes several
screen shots.
I was then placed on a network drive so another department could you use it
(the access program and the .mhtml page.) When the person tries to access the
help file, she cannot see the pictures. On my machine, the pictures are
visible.
Any ideas?

Are your picture links hard-coded to the folder on your PC?

How can I tell this. I just assumed when you save it as an archive file all
the necessary information is saved and the file is self sufficient.

I don't really know, as this is outside my "expert" area. I, too, would
think that an .mht file would contain the images to be displayed
(encoded for the file). I just created such a file from my website's
home page, and the .mht file does contain the images. (Interesting --
when viewed in Notepad, the .mht format is revealed as a multipart
e-mail message).

What image format are these screenshots in? Could it be that the other
person doesn't have a viewer for that format?

Hi Dirk:

The format is a .gif. I was hoping that the .mhtml would avoid this problem.
I thought with Internet Explorer that would be sufficient. I am wondering
with her computer is properly updated? It does not make sense.

I'd think a .gif would display in any version of IE, so that idea goes
down in flames. I don't know what's going on here. I suggest you post
a question about it in one of the Internet Explorer groups.
