Reading Image File into 6i Form

Question

I am attempting to read an image file and display it on an Oracle Form (created in Forms 6i) using the READ_IMAGE_FILE builtin. I have tried it with the same image in several different formats: JPG, TIFF and GIF. The call reads as follows: READ_IMAGE_FILE('D:\mugshot\mug23456.gif','GIF','DESCRIPTION.IMAGE_ITEM'); The file is located in the indicated path on the application server, i.e. the same machine where the form is being run. DESCRIPTION.IMAGE_ITEM is, of course, an Item of type Image. The PL/SQL procedure containing the above call is invoked by an ON-POPULATE-DETAILS trigger defined at the block level (DESCRIPTION is the block in question). Here is the problem: after logging into my Forms 6i application via a login screen, which then runs the form which would be displaying the image item, the form does not appear; all we see is a blank screen. When I remove the DESCRIPTION.IMAGE_ITEM field from the canvas, the form runs as expected, except of course that the image is not read. Is there something special that has to be done to read or display an image, other than what I have already done as described above?
