Thanks for the help everyone! I'm a few steps closer to solving this one. What I'm doing is pretty much a workaround, since I can't figure out how to pass a image file directly from within the zodb. I have created a seperate field that gets passed to a localFS directory. Right now, I just need to refrence a file that is somewhere other than the /usr/local/zope directory. I've been trying: c.drawInlineImage(str('/home/zope/uploadedimages/' + filename), .5*inch, 10.*inch,4*inch) for some reason it can't find a file anywhere other than the base directory in zope. I cannot use this directory because it will serve as a collection of image files. Any ideas how to force it to look somewhere else for this file?
