converting stored package (image) to just an image filename

I made the mistake of loading 600 pictures directly to my database. It appears that in reading some of the threads, this was unwise. It seems there is a problem in using ASP and ADO with an image rather than a filename as well. So I am looking for an easy way out of my problem.

Currently I can manually convert by editing the package, copying the label, closing the package and then pasting the label (which is the filename). Pretty tedious. I hope there is an easier way to accomplish this???

Thanks for any help.
 
I think you'll find information, examples, or code to do this at MVP Stephen
Lebans' site, http://www.lebans.com. There are also a couple of Microsoft
Knowledge Base articles on the subject at http://support.microsoft.com --
119395 and 210486 (if they haven't "aged off" the knowledge base -- they are
pretty old). But, if it were me, I'd go with Stephen's stuff, anyway.
