Thanks for all your help. I'll have to take a look at this later. I was reading about needing your pictures to be bmp's so that is a problem.
 
I was sure this tutorial showed how to do this and it wasn't very hard. I think there's another one about using XML and I could try that but use my Access DB to create the XML file.
 
The tutorials I remember seeing were using some sort of kennel database and in the first part they just showed the information but then they showed how to make the image of the dog show up with it's record. I'm trying to do something similar with plant pictures. Also uses a text field for searching the DB.

While searching my files for someone else's issue I found some pages I made using Access and displaying pictures. After a lot of trial and error and recreating a new page many times, I found the simple piece I was leaving off. Make sure the auto feedback is checked.
 
I'm not sure how one piece of code gets into the data list but the only way I could get what I needed was to copy it from the original page I used when I first saw the tutorial.
 
A couple of problems showed up but so far I've been able to get around them, sometimes the hard way.
 
If I can't figure out how to get a hyperlink attached to my thumbnails from the database I'll have to re-think my image sizes.

I was going to post a link to what I've gotten done so far but I guess where I'm hosting isn't supporting aspx or maybe it's the Access database causing the issue.

You must have a MS server with asp.net to use aspx pages.  For the $13 setup, you can have it at the free host jimd posted http://www.expression-web-designer-help.com/forum/free-expression-web-hosting_topic4227&FID=21&PR=3.html

I've thought about that a few times but until I really have something I'll just keep playing.
 
Thanks,
