You’ll want to use the `onMousePress` or `onDoubleClick` event handlers in the component scripting of a power table. From there you can set the image path on the image component. It is easy to write the picture path to a string memory tag with the tag bound to the image component. ```auto data = self.data clickData = data.getValueAt(rowIndex, 'yourColumnName') if clickData == 'cat': path = 'catPic.jpg' else: path = 'carPic.jpg' system.tag.write.('picPathTag',path) ``` ---

You could also make the image names (or paths to the image) as a hidden column. a simple lookup expression could take it from there. ---

I tried the system.tag.write, but did not get it working. I am able to create a session variable and it points to the file, but when I bind it to the image property, it comes back blank. Is there a way for an image file to use a session variable? ---

You have to supply the path to the photo file, not just the name of the file. The easiest way is to place the image in a location which can be served by your Gateway - `Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main`, for example - and then supply the path within that directory. Assuming a file located at `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main\carpic.jpg`, you should be able to supply `carpic.jpg` for the image `source`. ---

Thank you. I also noticed that the filename is case sensitive. I had JPG in the string,but the picture was jpg. Once I corrected the case, the problem was fixed.
