Question abt access Db cc frontpage *762008

[J.Alladien]

Dear All,

I have a product-database with relevant product-info including linked Pics
and I would like to know if it,s possible to put all that info INCLUDING the
PICTURES on my internetpage via a link ,so that the information does not have
to be updated all the time because its linked and changes made in the DB
automatically get updated on the website!
Is this possible using Frontpage,by the way the pictures are stored as OLE
objects.

Thanks in advance!

You would have to upload the database each time it is changed to the web site.

You can put them in, but getting them out is a giant pain. You can't just
take the contents and dump them into your page like a normal photo. web
pages don't accept the kind of BLOB (Binary Large Object) information that
an image represents. You have to create another script page that will take
some parameter that identifies the image you want, then output the contents
directly. There can be absolutely no plain HTML on this page, not even a
single space. On the page you want the image to appear, such as a product
page, you have to point the image to this other file and pass the parameter
for that photo.

If you have a busy web site, or hope to have one, this may not be so good as
Access tends to fall apart with more than 10 simultaneous connections, and
images can certainly do that.

FP can't really do this for you, but there are some scripts that can give
you an idea how to proceed.

Hope this helps,
