Hi,
Howdy.

I need to link some images to an Access database, its
going to be a shopping cart, and I have all the images
of the products in the hosting, i need to link them so
they can be displayed.

The usual approach is to store the pictures in a folder
somewhere, and then store the picture file names in the
database.

In your database queries, you merge the picture file
names into an <img> tag, and send the <img> tag (rather
than plain text) to the browser.

In the database create a text field for the image fieldname.

Then in your pages use:

<img src="pathtofolder/<%=objRS("image")%>" width="200">

objRS is the name of the recordset you are using to retrieve the data from the database
