Hi Joe,
the first error is trying to use @aamc_id; aamc_id is not an attribute, so you should not add the '@' in front of it.
The second error is not specifying the full path /Summary/New_Record/aamc_id; as you are placing this image outside any other navigational code, your context is the root element, and you must navigate down to reach the id.
The third error (that you are not hitting yet, but I bet you will, once you fix the previous two) is the missing Base URL setting; click on a blank area of the canvas, and the property window will show Base URL and Background. In the Base URL you will have to enter the path of the directory where the images are located.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for the BaseURL Tip I would have never found that I diden't see that mentioned in any tutorials. So the good news is, It now reads my variable with code like this :
<IMG src="{concat(/Summary/New_Record/aamc_id,'.jpg')}"/>

For some reason When I run the transform I get the following screen shot. Obviously it is just not seeing the site root path. Shouls I just make an element with that in it as well and concatinate the two?

Hi Joe,
if the XSLT works without the Base URL setting, it means that you generate the final HTML in the right folder; setting it to the correct folder allows you to preview it even when this doesn't happen.
I am happy everything is working now,

Alberto
