You'll need to create a dynamic site using either ASP or PHP. Try either or both of these tutorials to get you started.

What you want to do is fairly basic. Once you've made a basic dynamic site it'll be relativly easy to see how to go about it. Any problems return here with a link to the site/page, or example of code and I'm sure people will help you sort it out.

Hi John,
thanks for your quick replay.
is it true that ASP has problems on Linux web servers?
I have all my images in Microsoft Access format can I load them from a querry?

Rule of thumb is to use ASP on Windows servers and PHP on Linux - check with your host to see what is possible. If your server is Linux I'd recommend using PHP. Yes, you call fields from a database using queries and Access data can be transfered to MySql faily easily.

if you already have a MS Access database, you might want to consider upgrading to SQL Server and .NET. this would require a Windows Server platform; however, it would provide scalability you might not have with your current platform. it depends on how large you expect your site to grow, as well as your budget, of course ...

The thing I dont understand is: How does this upload works?
Can you see what they are doing on www.bannerduel.com ?

When a user logs on they'll be able to upload images using a form field that will "connect" with a script (ASP or PHP) held on the server. This script will handle the transfer of an image file (the form field will allow the user to browse to it) to a database held on the server.
The tutorials I suggested will give you a good idea how webpage forms interact with databases.
