Can't view FLASH tutorial

 

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 have looked high and low for this.  I can find data tutorials but few on images.  What you want to do does not seem a simple task.  I have Access but could not even figure out a way to get the images to show in the Access table.  I did not waste much time with it though.  It seems how you store and get the images into the Access table may be a problem also.  Are you embedding the images in Access or storing them in a separate file?  If you are embedding, it may cause a slow loading problem if there are more than a few.  I found another article at MS though that does go into more detail on how to do this including getting it into an html page if you are interested. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285820  Hope it helps more.

I was looking for some help displaying records from an access database that include thumbnail images which link to full size images.  You've got an example posted using your Moth's database but with no pictures.

 

Removed the one link it didn't go where I thought it was going.

 

After a long break I came back to this. I'm able to create the database, insert the datasource on the page and it will view in the gridview I'm looking for. I need to know how to get the thumbnail images to show in the image field.

I created the image field as a hyperlink field pointing to the thumbnail. When viewed in a browser I see the link path listed 2 times in the field. Maybe one is the text and the other is the actually link? But how do I get it to display the actual image which will become the link to the full size image?
