Take a look at this thread

I wouldn't use Access database to store images. Use MSDE - it's sql
server and its free. I then used the scripts here:
http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/Sh...61&lngWId=4#zip
to view the images, and upload the images too.

Without looking at your code, it sounds like you're missing some sort
of bitstream conversion. If it's only a few images - do you really
need them in a database?

Actually.... There's only a few images in there at first to get it to work.
It's real concept is to be the front end of a store (the back end is in
place with a different front end already). I'm using Access since the load
will not be large. I have been looking at other solutions like MySQL, and
I'll probably give a look at MSDE while I'm in the middle of this.

Since my post, I found

http://support.microsoft.com:80/sup...&NoWebContent=1

that is what I'm looking for, though I haven't had success with it yet.

And yes, what I was missing was the (in the link above) Response.BinaryWrite

Thanks for your rely..
