Re: ASP Hotspots

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks Clinton,

In fact, my images are in the file system with the path referenced from an
Access field. Secondly, asside from here and a couple of other sites I've
located, I don't have a good source for directory sites that focus on the
kind of question I'm seeking an answer for--any suggestions or pointers would
be greatly appreciated. Finally, I'll immediately order the book you
mentioned and I appreciate your advice. Thanks again.
