Cognos 8 -- issue with browsing images in Report Studio

If you have added an image to your Cognos Report Studio report page and when you attempt to browse your directory for an image file to apply you may encounter an error message stating that you don't have the proper permissions.  If you are using IIS for your web server then you should attempt the following fix:

1. If you are using Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), enable the Read and Directory Browsing properties for the URL you want to access:
2. Open the Control Panel and double-click Internet Services Manager.

• Right-click the directory that points to the folder containing the image you want to insert and click Properties. If no directory exists for the folder, create one and point it to the folder.

• In the Virtual Directory or Directory tab, select the Read and Directory Browsing check boxes and click OK.
