Picture Prints in Preview and File\Print but not at runtime

A client has multiple printers and doesn't store all of the pictures on each PC.  Rather they are stored in the same folder on the network where the ".btw" files are stored.

Using a Data Sourced Picture to show an image based on a field in the data source.  Want to to do this without entering a default path because the server where the pictures are stored is based on the location of plant.  The pictures are all in the same folder as the ".btw" that is being executed.

It works fine in Print Preview and also works using File\Print.  However when it is called a runtime it does not work with a blank default path.  You would think a blank default path would signify to get the picture from the current folder where the ".btw" is being executed.

It works with a mapped drive that points to server where the ".btw" and the pictures are stored and enter that mapped drive as the default path.  However then each PC would have to have that drive mapped.

Here is how the label is being printed at runtime

bartend.exe /f=R:\BTWAndPictureFolder\ProductLabel.btw /p

Any ideas?

  I would have thought you would need to specify the path all the time, but you could try setting the Pictures path in Administration Console to the location where the images are found and see what that does.
