Sorry, like I said, it isn't my environment my question was more a "is it possible". So, in answer to your questions.

It is Oracle 9i (unsure of release). In a Windows 2000 environment.

Okay. An image can exist on a drive "local to the computer" (nfs/smb included), or "remotely on a web server". The "remotely on a web server" is what interests me. Instead of displaying a "local image" (eg. U:\images\image1.jpg), is it possible to display a "remote image" (http) (eg. http://hostname/images/image1.jpg)?

The forms are running in a web browser under the Jinitiator JVM (1.3.18).
