    Hello, I am trying to create a form to handle proof copy approvals, but cannot figure out how to change the proof copy image that is loaded for each customer.

    I would like to load an image window with a preset url path to a particular folder, i.e. www.yourdomain.com/proofs/, and then use a URL parameter to append that customers {order.number}.jpg to the end so that it automatically loads their artwork. 

    I'm already using URL parameters to prefill inputs on other forms so I understand how they work, but I cannot work out how to change an image URL using them!

    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    I have checked the possible options of changing image url. Unfortunately it is not possible to change image name url of images your users have uploaded.

    I recommend you integrate your form with DROPBOX, configuring different folders per submission. http://www.jotform.com/help/77-Upload-to-Dropbox-with-JotForm?

    If you would like to set Unique IDs on the folder, you can also do that using this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/255-How-to-setup-folders-using-UniqueID-in-Dropbox.

    Kindly do let us know if you have further questions.

    I'm not sure that is the right solution? I have no need for user uploads, I want to show the person viewing the form a specific image relating to their specific order.

    Perhaps there would be a way to inject a snippet of HTML into the form to show an image that way?

    If you want to inject an HTML script to show an image, you can use the "Text" element and click on the source icon then add your HTML script for your image.

    Is that what you are looking for? Looking forward for your response.
