Is it possible to set up a form or other way to permit users to submit a
picture with some text and to automatically insert the submission into a web
page that groups all submissions for a particular topic? Sort of like a
facebook.

Yes.

You most likely will need to use a custom form as you will be doing an
upload AND you will need to take the information about the upload filename,
users text, category etc and place it into a database of some sort. Then
your display page can access that same db and retrieve the image and the
users text
That scripting will vary dependent on the host os and db support

Thank you. You have confirmed what I suspected. Do you know of any source
that could step me through the process? I am fairly computer savvy and am not
intimidated by HTML as long as I have a structure to follow. I have worked
with Access which could provide the db within FP. The registration for
ability to submit can be done within FP but I think I need to have positive
control over the "okay" approval to submit by confirming e-mail addresses --
slow but prudent with spammers abounding. What do you think?

My programming is way back with COBOL and Fortran which is to say I will
take on a task if I think I can handle it but I'll leave machine language to
someone else.

Greatly appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts and expertise.

See if http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288328 (w/o the email part) helps your to get info into the DB and
use File upload
