Export table with image paths (as HTML) to show pictures in web browser

[sehmke]

Hello all,

I have a table with article references and the absolute path to a picture of that article. For example: article 72812 has a picture on our server named: s:\pictures\72812.jpg

I want to export this table (or a query on it) as an html document so I can view it with MSIE. But instead of the pathname, I want the browser to show the picture in a table, so it can serve as an internal catalogue or so...

PS: this is all on a local network, so nothing gets posted on a web server.

Additional requirement (if possible):
All pictures need to be scaled to a certain size (thumbnail), and be a hyperlink to the full size picture in a new window...

I think this is very tricky to do, if not impossible. But I've seen many desperate people get their answer in this forum...

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

S.

I don't think Access can produce thumbnail images.

There are many shareware and freeware programs that can produce thumbnail images and create thumbnail gallery webpages.

If you don't have one, you can check out this site for a freeware Image Gallery Tool that suits your needs.

Once you get the thumbnail images and the HTML pages generated by one of this kind of programs, you can modify the HTML files in a text editor if you want.
