I suspect that Tom has the pictures in a container field inside the  
database rather than at a known web location.

The issue here is that the request for the picture in the container  
field has to go to the FileMaker Server, not the webserver - this is  
not too hard to organise where they operate from the same IP address,  
but is difficult when the webserver and FM are different boxes.

Off the top of my head, I seem to remember reading something about how  
to deal with this issue, but can't find it offhand.
