Image from database name

[peekay]

I am inserting an image into an .asp weppage. When the web page loads it looks for newly listed properties to show an image of a few of them. I got the connection right and the data shows but not the image. I have used a path like c:\properties\name.gif in the database. I have checked the picture properties and it seemed right.
Can somebody please help
Thanks

I think the problem stems from how you are storing the address in the database. When the user goes to your page, the html code is going to be written so that the image will be looked for on the users' C:\ drive, not on the server's. I have a database that does the same thing you are doing. Here's what I did:

1. Created a folder within

http://wwwroot

to store the images.
2. In the databse, I referenced the images with a relative url (i.e., ../../images/image1.jpg)
3. That works fine for me.
