The easiest way is to do it in frames. With two vertical
frames ("Vertical Split"), have the staff listing on the
left. When they click on the staffer name, the bio and
picture appear on the page in the right frame. Do it this
way if you don't know any coding (like me.)
 
You can do it with the database interface wizard.(requires >= windows 2000 & IIS
and ASP )

The Query will be something like:

SELECT * from TABLE StaffMembers where %StaffName% LIKE (::StaffName::)
(assuming that is the correct syntax, I'm no expert)

Frontpage will do the code stuff for you if you use the Wizard, and Access
Database. Inserting images is a bit more complicated, but doable. Search in FP
Help for "Inserting Picture in Database"

You then hyperlinks will be set up like :

<a href="http://www.site.com/staffsearch.asp?staffname=Joe Bloggs">Joe Bloggs</a>

OR the DIW will create a search field based on the query i.e. a search field to
search for StaffName.
