"Insert Image" will not take my file

In RoboHelp HTML, WebHelp
1) Edit a topic and place the cursor in the body text
2) Click "Insert Image" , then click on the folder button to the right of the "Image Name" box
3) Navigate to the local disk c:, locate the .gif file I want, select it and click open
4) The "Image Name:" box is empty when I should be seeing the file path

Can it have something to do with the fact that I am not using the "My RoboHelp" folder?

I inherited a set of projects and the project files are located on the local drive of the PC, but in a different directory. I think as long as the files are located on your PC in *some* directory, you'll be ok.

This is a bug.

I cannot add files from anywhere BUT the "My Robohelp folder" on my network.

In that case you need to follow Leon's advice. It is certainly not a bug of Adobe's making

I was wondering if that was the case. So RoboHelp must be run on a local PC. It is against the licensing agreement to do otherwise.

This is a RoboHelp forum. RoboHelp projects should not be run over a network as they use underlyingn MS Access DBs. Your RoboHelp source files must always be used on a local drive and backed up to a network drive. Do you have a Captivate question?
