Loading an external pic in graphic object on single client

Hey all,

We are having a serious problem with the graphic object in WinCC.

We are using this to show pictures of products on a server and several single clients.

Now the pictures are in a different map location so that the customer can adjust these without the need going into the map of WinCC and do something wrong here.

We created an internal 16 char tag to load in the location of the picture. On the server everything go's ok. For testing we also show the internal tag to read out what's written into it with a script but this is all ok.

So for example.

In the server we see: \\pandora\pictures\1.jpg

And the server will show the picture correctly

But on the clients we see the same text in the internal tag but still, the picture isn't show. Before you ask, yes all rights on the pc's are correct because when we type the text in a normal Windows Explorer on the client we see thepicture. It's just WinCC that is doing something strange.

We tested already a lot and the only way to show the picture is when we place it directly in the GraCS map. But because we are talking about 4000 pictures we don't want it in this map.

So we could use some help here,

Thanks in advance
