  I prefer the referencing method.  And I have a couple of questions
  about that!!  :o)

  How does the img name get controlled!!  - I mean how does the name
  of the img get changed to be the same as the primary key.

  Do you know of any tutorials that cover this - (beginner standard)

  Thanks for your help.
