[thelist] ASP image database reteval

[Don Makoviney]

1. You should post your code to the list.

2. You should post the error message you are getting.

3. You should try joining a specialized asp list at http://www.asplists.com.
A good one for this problem might be:
http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspfreeforall.asp

There are tons of helpful and friendly ASP/Database experts on that list.

In addition, a good article on displaying images from a database is here:

I've never actually had to do this myself, but I seem to remember a similar
thread months ago and the thing that stuck in my head was that you
cannot/should not store images in a database. Instead you should have a link
to the image e.g. ".\images\image1.gif". Don't take this as gospel, maybe
one of the ASP gurus can confirm or deny this.
