Hi John,The right way to do this is to create an "images" table in the database. In this table you'll store an image ID, the image file name, the product ID of the product each image is associated with, and if you like a sort order field where you can enter the order in which you want the images to appear.Next you query your database for a product and then run a second query to get your images using the Product ID as your key field in your WHERE statement - then loop throught the results of this query.Setting things up this way will allow an unlimited number of images to be associated with each product.-- Lawrence Carmer - *Adobe Community Professional* http://www.Cartweaver.com Complete Shopping Cart Application for Dreamweaver, available in ASP, PHP and ColdFusionStay updated - http://blog.cartweaver.com
