Steve,

Definitely try using ForceRedraw. Do not hit F10 until you are certain the the image has been retrieved and displayed - then wait a little longer just to be really sure. See if that changes the behavior. It may be that you are advancing while the user interface is still trying to draw the image.

This is probably not related, but I am curious about the loaction of the images, especially using remote broadband connection. 

Are you using UNC conventions (\\server\share\path\folder\image.jpg) for your path or Drive letter mapping (C:\path\folder\image.jpg)? 

I would suspect that UNC might be preferred in this type of environment?  Or is this not relevant if using local Sesame Client to remote Sesame server?

OK. I tried your suggestion. After adding forceredraw(), I can not get it to fail.

This seems to have done the trick. Even when I "rushed" to the next record before the image loaded, it didnt crash.

I'll give it a more thorough testing tonight and report any other issues.

Bob, we're using UNC. it seems to be working well except when we run the server from a different machine (then it cant find the photos because the drive mapping is different and we don't have 'the energy' to remap all our users drive letters, etc).

Thanks for everyone's help.

Steve

This might help someone
I needed to hide an element In a Subform
what I did was
1) Make the size to max Small
2) Change the Element property to invisible
3) Remove the element name

AND YOU HAVE A SUBFORM COMPLETELY HIDEN AND
TAKING UP NO SPACE ELEMENT Cheesy
