I'm new at this, so please help. I have created an access dvd database, which works fine. However, when I try to link the cover art image, I am unable to do so. How do I do this?

Thank you

Simple!

Create the recordset that contains the field for your images.
Just click the IMAGE button on the components panel to insert an image like normal.
Select DATA SOURCE at the top and select the field that holds the image info.

Here's the problem. Suppose your database contains image1.gif, image2.gif and so on. This is relative to the page calling it!

So if you have file.asp that is calling this database, and the images are located in a directory called IMAGES in the same directory as the page calling it, then the images will be broken. For this reason, have your database images reference absolute positions. ie:

/images/file1.gif
instead of
file1.gif

Good luck!
