file path of images in access to feed asp pages in website |

| message from =?Utf-8?B?cGF1bA==?= on 21 May 2004 |
I've read the books, and access forums!!!!!!!!! could someone please explain how I display images using access as the feeder for the asp pages of my website. Should all the images be moved to a folder within the developing site, BEFORE ENTERING JUST THE PATH OF THE IMAGE FILE IN THE TABLE OF THE DATABASE', in order not to bloat the size of the database. I have just read some horror stories in this forum about embedding and or linking to files and am totaly confused which route I should take.

If I was using ASP to display the pictures, I would just store the name of
the picture file in the database. I would store the pictures in a
subdirectory (say Images_ under where ever the ASP page is stored and then
hardcode "./images" into the image tag and just append the picture name.
< IMG src="./images/<%=rs.Fields("PictureName")%> ">
This assumes that PictureName is the name of the field.

Thank you Roger. I have constructed all of my company's static websites over the years using Front Page. This year I am using Dreamweaver, and because of the large amount of images invoved have been advised to use the A.S.P. route which includes Access as the feeder, consequently the leaning curve is rather steep!!. I really appreciate your concise answer to my question, thank you.
