Display image from Access database in Frontpage 2003

[Hugo Dias]

I am trying to develop a website based in an Access Database. For now I'm
doing some experiments and stopped in one obstacle which I can't overcome. I
can't display pictures from the Access database in my Internet page! I am
strictly following Microsoft Instructions
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825515 or
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/assistance/HA010346821033.aspx).

I even tried to solve the problem with my host (HostMySite) who gave me the
following answer:
"You said you are trying to pull from an access database but looking at the
source it seems to be pointing to your images directory which contains only
JPEGS. I also noticed in your source that for the images you are referencing
.../mysite/images which does not exist on the remote server. So please update
your code and if you continue to have problems please let us know the
location of the DB your are trying to use."
My website is http://65.36.226.177/ (it's only a space where I do my
experiments before launching a real web site). When I publish my web site I
can check that the Remote Web Site has all the images I need so I don't
understand what my host is saying!

Can anyone help me?

Best Regards

It is best to store the images within a folder in your web and store a link to them in a text field
in the database.

I know that. Microsoft instructions include that. But even doing this I
can't display them in my website!

Then you are not doing something correctly. How are you linking to the images?

Did you Import the images into FP first?...if you didn't the paths would be messed up.

Hi Hugo,

First, from reading the articles you mentioned, and the replies in this
thread, it seems that you are NOT trying to "Display image from Access
database" literally, but trying to display images that are stored in the
web's file system, whose paths are stored as strings in an Access database.
Correct?

If so, the first thing we need to do is figure out the exact nature of the
problem. "I can't display pictures from the Access database" is about as
useful information as telling a Doctor "I don't feel good." Can you describe
as completely as possible the symptoms (behavior, error messages, etc) that
you are seeing? If you don't know the correct term for something, please
describe it as fully as possible.
