Seeing Pictures on the web site

I've just down loaded the trial version of ASP Runner and find it easy to use. I expect to buy it as long as I can get it to show pictures on my web site.

I am using MS Access, which I know well. I have inserted pictures into a table as bitmaps using an OLE field in the table structure and pasting into a form. These display OK in Access.

When I try to build a list page in ASP I get only one record showing on the page and no picture, just a highlighted field name where it should be in the record. ASpRunner is set to database image .
I have also tried to use the file-based image format by placing the picture files in the images folder and addressing them from the database via a text field in the access table. When I do this I can see all the records in the data that should be on view but all I get for an image is a recessed box with a red 'X' in it. Just like in the early days of the web. Is it something that is not set in FrontPage that prevents this or am I missing something pretty fundamental.

I know images can be displayed as I've seen your demo but I don't seem able to achieve it. I will definitely buy ASP Runner if i can achieve this as it is exactly what Iwant.

One last point, where I want to put a hyperlink into a field is there a way to prevent the user seeing the hyperlink address?
Thanks in anticipation.

Peter,
please zip and send me to support AT xlinesoft.com all files from ASPRunner's output folder. I'll find what's wrong running it on my local box.
When using file-based images option you need to make sure that image field contains correct relative or absolute path to image.

I have almost the idential problem as above and have tried both the database image and file based image methods with no luck. I want to use the database image method. I am using MS Access 2003 and added the images using OLE, Create from new file (since the photo already exits) and I have tried it with and without the link and display as icon selected, numerous versions. Any ideas?

Sergey,
I sent it, but then did some more work and sent you what could be the final version if I get the photos not displaying worked out.
Thanx!
