I have created a form that returns several fields and an image from an Access database. Can the image be made clickable so that it points to a larger image stored in the same directory?

I would like to know how you made an image in the database viewable on a web page? I couldn't get it to happen and from everything I have read it doesn't work.
I rigged the scedule picture component in fromt page to display the pics needed.

In order to get images to display, the database actually only contains a text path to where the image is located - usually the images folder. If the image is embedded in the database it won't work.

Spooky has an excellent viewlet showing the steps to get the image to display.

To make a thumbnail link to a larger image, you might find this information helpful. It is how to make a detail page - and you can make your thumbnail a link to the detail page.

Hope this helps a little.

Hi

Thanks for your reply to my post about thumbnails. I, too, had problems with images. The viewlet at http://www.outfront.net/spooky/adv_param.htm is very helpful. But it left one thing a bit foggy for me and it took a while to figure it out. My own fault, not Spooky's. The field in your access database that refers to the image you want to call must be a text field. Then type in the path to your image. If the image is in a folder called "images" in the root of your web, the bath might be "images\imagename.jpg" If you include the word "images" in the path in the access database, do not include it in the perameter when you prepare it in the database wizard. It will make more sense to you after you view the viewlet.

Good luck. Contact me if you have trouble.
