Hi, Sam~

You can save in the images/ directory or you can set up a different
directory. To associate the photos: in the database, the entry will be like
"image1.jpg". Let's assume that you are saving the images in the images/
directory. In that case, in your asp, your entry would be similar to

<a href="http://<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"PreviewURL")%>"
<img border="0" width="100" height="80"
src="<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Image1")%>"></a>

You are asking that the visitors be able to display your images on their
website by linking directly to them??? I think that's not the best way to go
- that way, they will be using YOUR bandwidth and you're in for a potentially
huge hosting bill... Why not let them copy the images to use on their own
site?
