Image Blobs

G

Guest

I am using aspupload to allow users to upload images into a database. They
are loaded as 'Image Blobs' So far so good. But how do I now display them on
a FP web page using the DBRW? I have looked at the Microsoft Article ID :
173308 but it is mostly over my head. Is there not a simple line of code to
add or a custom query? Thanks.

Thanks Kathleen - I will try it. Now this is really going to sound so stupid:
in aspupload to load images into a file I get a "cannot find the path
specified error" and the suggested format is the physical path. could that
not be: http://www.mysite.com/upload/images? or as I am on a shared server do
I need something else?

Ok Thanks - and the way you suggested storing the image in a file and
referencing it from the database worked fine. Now got to figure how to make
it all work seemlessly so the image is uploaded to a file and the image
reference is uploaded to the database. any ideas?

Not possible w/ DBRW
Will require custom hand coded ASP
ASPupload code has the variables you need to pass to a DB update statement
- just update the DB w/ the file name instead of the image blob
