My company is asking me to create a pictures database initially for the
President to be able to look through that has basic information on that
employee.
I know there are hundreds of web sites that specialize in pictures.
Anyone have any ideas that would work in FrontPage?

Hi David,

If I understand the question you'd create a database with the employees
informatin and a link to to the employees picture file. Using the DRW you
could set up a query to pull the employee information.
 
You should consider not storing the pictures in the database, but in the
file system. Then you can store the paths to the pictures in the database as
text. From this, you can build an "img" tag in your database results page.
The reason for this is that working with binary data in a database is pretty
expensive in terms of performance, while the file system is very fast for
fetching files.
