Excel list & images

[capt]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

I have an excel list of products that I am selling. I have another list of images that correlate to each product, the name of the image matches a item number for the products in the excel list. How can I link them, over 2000 images and products each, so that I can use it for an ecommerce ability on my website? Can excel do it or no, I'm on 04 excel? Thanks for any help, appreciate it.

Don't know whether you can use XL for your ecommerce site or not, but
one way to link pictures:

However, with 2000 images, I suspect this will not be easy or fast to
set up or, especially, maintain.

IMHO, you'd be better off looking at using a database application.

Many website vendors can also help you get set up using SQL-driven
databases.

What she need is a Program that uses a relational Database. The ideal
product for Mac is FileMaker Pro, if they want to create their own.
If you sign up with a web hosting company such as LunarPages They hey
can help set up an E-commerce page (for an added price)
