ive been struggling with this problem for a few days. does anyone
know how to add a url to a sql 2000 database. im trying to
build a web app with asp 3.0 and sql2000. instead of storing images
directly to the DB, id like to store the images on the file system and
then have a url in the DB pointing to the images.

any help is appreciated

thanks

A url is just a string containing some html. What is the problem?

string. Correctly or incorrectly, I call anything I write to Response
"html".
