In report net I am using an image from the app server and it is working.
When I run the report in excel it is also working.
But the problem is when I send this excel file to an external email.
It doesn't show the image.
Can you help? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele
Hi there,
Have you got a work around for the excel image issue?
I too have the similar issue, Images are displaying in excel when I open the files or run the report from the server where COGNOS is installed. But when I run the report from my local machine or copy the excel file to my machine, the images are not displaying.
Can I consider it as a Cognos limitation or is there any fix given by Cognos Support?
Hoping to hear from you soon
Thanks
Prit
Do not use absolute path for image e.g. :http/servername/cognos8/samples/images".
Try using relative path of folder where images are stored e.g. ".../samples/images" then it will display image in report exported in excel.
Hope this helps. :)
Hi SGD,
The path is already defined as '../samples/images/Test/ABC.GIF'
As I already said in my last post, that the excel reports are showing the Images when I run the report or open the files from the Server where cognos is Installed.
But, when I e-mail or open the files from other server location, then the images are not displaying.
Thanks

This is the issue with Excel 2002. I have tested with excel 2007 and seems to be working fine and users can see the images from remote locations.
Thanks
