in reply to perl script using Win32::IEAutomation

I guess that there is no image matching what you tell us. Have you tried pasting the HTML into a separate file to see if it matches what you think?

I can only recommend to you to make your code more robust by using the following:

my $image = $ie->getImage('alt:', "Incidents"); if (! $image) { die "Couldn't find 'Incidents' image on the current page."; }; $image->Click();

As an aside, I don't really care if this is "blocking your work", and queries are not "treated as important" here based on your saying so.
