I should have mentioned in my last post: Another way to do this would be
to use the web viewer object, with this as your URL, for example:
"file:\\REMOTEVOL\Folder\image.jpg"
That works on Windows (where the web viewer is based on Internet
Explorer) and should also work on Mac (where it is based on Safari).
Depending on your version of IE on Windows or Safari on Mac, you may
need to use three or even four slashes, as in:
"file:\\\REMOTEVOL\Folder\image.jpg"
"file:\\\\REMOTEVOL\Folder\image.jpg"
