Pictures Disappearing in RT Field

HiThis is a very strange situation on Release 5.0.8 clients. I have subforms which contain pictures. On one client the picture appears correctly and yet on another client, exactly the same setup, the picture disappears, the frame is still visible showing the image is still there. Same client version, reader, editor, manager access makes no difference. I have recreated the form, edited, cut, saved and replaced the image - all without success. Only occurs in some forms in the database but there is no pattern.

Anyone come across this before?

TIA

If your RT field becomes a computed field at sometime in the process, this will happen. This is a known issue for years. Only workaround is to let the field be editable at all times or not allow the document to be edited via the client but rather through agents on the server (the route I took). In an agent I gathered the information I wanted to change via a workspace.prompt command and then had another agent RunOnServer which changed the document on the server. Passed variable with a tempdoc created with the first agent and then deleted the tempdoc with the second agent that ran on the server.
