Hi, Im relatively new at programming, but I just want to know if my project idea can be accomplished or not. I have a relational paradox database that is representing a photolibrary for the company I am working for. I am trying to develope and application that will be able to search the database, generate a list of thumbnails based on the search criteria. I want to be able to click on the thumbnail and pull up additional information stored within the database. After I have selected a photo I then want to be able to attach the jpg file of the image as an email attachment.???? I would like to accomplish this in vb.net and then hopefully later on develope it into a asp.net project. what are your suggestions ? pointers... can i connect to a paradox database using vb.net? and is the email feature doable? I would love any feedback or suggestions you have... you could email directly or reply to this message. sheldonj@gmail.com.. Thanks, James

Find a Paradox news group. I quicly found information here: [^] Just some ideas on connecting and version. I assume OleDB may work, or, at the very least ODBC. yes, what you would like to do is very common. Just build an app with attribute information about the images (name, author, type, ID, path?, content, description, etc. etc.) You will then either store the images, or store thumbnails and paths to the images. people can then search on the attrubute information described above. The key will obviously be to determine what type and types of users and photos are being dealt with, what will be and needs to be searched. and network information (is this web, client server?) etc. have fun! -Len Thanks, -Len Miller "If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six sharpening my axe." -Abraham Lincoln
