The best thing to do is to store the location of the graphic files in your database, and use the location of the graphic file with your response object.

I do this with .pdf files all the time. The location of the .pdf file is stored in the database, and I use that text string to create a link to the .pdf file.

Rather than giving you an opinion how 'bout an answer? The following assumes that you already have the images in sql server or access:

<%
Dim rec

Set rec = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")

' picId is whatever you use to identify your records
rec.Source = "SELECT picPhoto, picId FROM picData WHERE picId=3"

' Assume you already have an open connection named 'cn'
rec.ActiveConnection = cn

rec.Open

If Not (rec.BOF And rec.EOF) Then
    Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
    Response.BinaryWrite rec("picPhoto")
Else
    Response.Redirect "YourErrorPage.asp"
End If

rec.Close

Set rec = Nothing
