i use

[if file __SAMPLEHTML__/images/cover/[item-code].jpg]
[include pages/fontfaces.html]<B><FONT SIZE="+2" COLOR="#009999">C</FONT></B>&nbsp;&nbsp; 
[/if]

in my results page and it works well. Maybe you get success, if you use
"__SAMPLEHTML__"? E.g.

[if file __SAMPLEHTML__/images/spring99/[item-field thumbnail]]
<IMG SRC="[item-field thumbnail]" ALT="[item-field title]" BORDER="2">
[else]
<IMG SRC="missingthumb.jpg" ALT="[item-field title]" BORDER="2">
[/else]
[/if]

Or i use

[if file __SAMPLEHTML__/images/cover/[item-code].jpg]
	      <TABLE ID="T7" BORDER=0 VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=465> 
          [else] 
	      <TABLE ID="T7" BORDER=0 VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH=665> 

          [/else] 
[/if]
in my flypage.html and it works well too.

Where is the location of [item-field thumbnail]?
Where is the location of missingthumb.jpg?
Did you see the right value of [item-field thumbnail]?

I have had the same trouble a long time ago and the error was a wrong
URL or wrong directory to the images. Are you able to see all images by
typing the full url (in your browser) to the images. Sorry! I
didn't understand you. Check the value of [item-field thumbnail] and the
URL in your MV page via browser and insert this lines

1 Is this right? : [item-field thumbnail] <BR>
2 Is this right? : __SAMPLEHTML__<BR>

in your page and see what you get.

Joachim
