Hi
I am producing a website which imports information about a number of products form an Acess database. I also need show pictures of the products, but i feel they will take up too much space if stored in the database. Is there a way of displaying a a particular picture in a sepearte file for a certain product? I have heard there is a method of doing so by typing in SQL code into field which the picture should be in.
Many Thanks

When you use more images I would suggest to create an different table for that with an relationship
