image not displaying 1

[arghhhh]

I'm having trouble with a .dwg file that a client has sent us. When we load up the dwg, there are several tif images missing. In their place is a path name that doesn't reside on our machine. We run AutoCAD 2005. Is there some sort of setting that I need to change to find the correct path, or make the images display. If not is there something that our client needs to do to embed the tif images into the dwg? I can see the images in the preview when we're about to load the file, but again, it doesn't show up once opened. Sorry for the noob question, but man is this frustrating! I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Tifs or other images are not imbedded in the file, they stay as separate files, client needs to send them to you!

The preview is a little bitmap image built into the dwg file that was made on the client's machine, who had the images attched to the drawing.

Thanks CarlB.

Your answer is so simple

Once I have the image files, then I can just go into the image manager and redefine the path to our local folder. Cool. Just wanted to make sure that the image files weren't hidden somewhere inside the .dwg with us not using correct settings somewhere. Now I can request the necessary files from the client confident that we didn't create the issue. Thanks again for such a quick response!
