It's often a pain to put the actual picture into the database as it involves
more steps to get the picture out (you can't reference the image itself, you
have to point the image to an asp script that just dumps the content of the
image right to the browser). It may be easier to put the images into a
folder, then have a field in the database that holds the url or directory
path to the image such as:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318813&Product=fp2002
If you really need to put the images inthe database, you can find some info
on how to get them out at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;173308&Product=asp
Although this article doesn't have instructions specifically for FP, you
should be able to get the gist of how to point an image to the proper script
with the id of the image you want out.
Hope this helps,

I am starting a new website which will containway more pictures than
words. What I need to know is this...is there a way to use Access Databases
to do this and if so, is that better than justing the gallery pages from FP?
