When you say \traceexternalfigurestrue you get moire info on what context
is doing. 

One can set up context to do a local and/or global search. By default
location={local,global}. The global paths are set by: 

\setupexternalfigures[directory={somepath,anotherpath}]

So, it's all there once you know where to find it -)

Sorry to be such a pain, but it still doesn't work. Texexec keeps
telling me it can't find the picture. Even after I run texutil. I tried
all your suggestions, but nothing works. I even tried with other
pictures, and nothing happens.

What else could be wrong?

Try it the hard way: 

\starttext 

\externalfigure[test.pdf]
\externalfigure[test.jpg]

\stoptext 

It really should work (it does here on a daily basis). 

Keep in mind that eps is not supported in pdftex, only pdf, mps, jpg and png.

Please give details from your logfile.

Hier a dutch example:

% interface=nl

\gebruikexternfiguur
	[FWerkbladRelatie]
	[]
	[type=png,schaal=600]

\starttext

\plaatsfiguur
	[]
	[fig:FWerkbladRelatie]
	{Werkblad, toont telefoonnummers van relaties}
	{\FWerkbladRelatie}

\stoptext

Groetjes,

Berend. (-:

Ok, here it is. This is after I copied your example, but I already got
as far as this :-(.

----------------------------
paragraaf      : 1.3 Doelgroep
[8.3]
figuren        : maten van ./organigram.jpg geladen uit figuurfile zelf
(./afstudeer.tuo)
plaatsblokken  : 1 geplaatst
paragraaf      : 1.4 Automatisering
[9.4
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored! <./organigram.jpg>] [10.5]
----------------------------

I ran texutil before I ran texexec, but still no luck. I also tried to
convert the jpg to png, but that doesn't help either.

Groeten
Ed

Hm. This is wrong, wrong driver. Use

  \setupoutput[pdftex] 

or 

  texexec --pdf filename 

never set \pdfoutput=1 manually since a special driver needs to be loaded.
NEVER use pdftex primitives or specials directly!!!

You don't need texutil, since pdftex can pick up the dimensions itself. You
can safely remove texutil.tuf.

Ok, I tried this, and texexec finds the pictures, and inserts them as
well, but I still get that "Non-PDF special ignored" message. All the
pictures are placed at the bottom left of the screen. I haven't put in
anything, as you can see:

--------------
\gebruikexternfiguur
	[organigram]
	[]
	[type=jpg]
--------------
\starttekst

\plaatsfiguur
	[]
	[fig:organigram]
	{Organigram Bank Labouchere}
	{\externfiguur[organigram]}

\stoptekst
--------------

This is all I have entered. I even recreated the jpg files with
ImageMagick, because I thought  there might be something wrong with the
files. That didn't help.
I'll try converting the jpg files to pdf, maybe that will help. But is
there anything else I can do?

Thanks 
Ed

add \setupoutput[pdftex] before \starttext and try again; if this also
fails, goto the .../context/base path, erase everything, unzip the
cont-tmf.zip file in the ../texmf path. Run mktexlsr, say texexec --make
and try again. It looks like you have a messed up system.

Indeed, I messed up my system :-) 
When I was trying to run texexec once more before I was going to replace
the context files, I saw something flash by saying something about
pdftex being old, or something.
So I downloaded a new version of pdftex and installed that. After
running mktexlsr and texexec --make, everything went smooth as a
whistle.
Thank you for all your patience, I was almost so desperate that I
considered going back to Word, but I'll stick to context now.

Thanks

Ed

Using \externalfigure is safer, since there can be no nameclash. The macro
call is there for downward compatibility, and no name is defined when a
macro already exists. When the name passed to \externalfigure is not known
as defined by \useexternalfigure, it's threated as filename.
