Google "ASP Upload" and you'll find quite a few options. Also take a
look at:
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2189 http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2149
You have the option of how you'll store the images to think about, for
example, will they all be the same size? Will they be at that size
when you upload or will they need to be resized? Are you storing all
image files in a single directory or in separate directories? If
separate, how are the directories structured?
For example, if all images are stored with the part number as the name
and in the same folder, say \images, then you don't even need to worry
about storing the info in a database. You'd just provide them with
code similar to:
Response.Write "<IMG SRC='/images/" & PartNumber & ".jpg'>"
