Hi,

I am new to this forum so greeting to all.

Anyway I am after a free image upload script to Access DB or something with the ability to create a thumbnail and title linked to another page (Large image an description).

Thanks
Mike

Well, I have looked everywhere for a component that would do that, and I couldn't find one. I only found an upload script that puts the binary of the image in the db for use.
That is free and doesn't resize the image.

This is a new commponent that I use. sadly it wasn't free, and still isn't. I had to buy this, but if you need it for something very important, you might want to buy it too.
http://www.aspupload.com - You might need aspupload and/or aspjpeg.

It could be worth buying, it was for me. Try the trial and see if you like it!

Hi,
What exactly is Your problem? Managing file uploads, extracting binary data from the DB, or creating thumbnails from images and format the output page? Or All of this?
1. You can manage binary uploads, downloads and inline binaries such as images using VBScript only. You don't need third party components for this, although using pure script can be very slow for larger files.
2. For thumbnail creation, You'll need some third party component, unless You only set the width and height attributes of the 'img' tag on the client, but in this case You''ll allways load the entire image - too much bandwidth for nothing...

Alekz, that is why I went with a component.

Thanks guys,

I am doing this for a friend ($0.00) - Just thought somebody out there might know of one instead of writing one, anyway I have found something similar and modifying to suit.

Thanks for you help!
