    BLOB Image Thumbnail

    Hello, I am storing pictures inside a DataBase (Access) as a BLOB and display them later using an ASP page.

    After searching the forums I found there is no answer on how to do this without using a third party component. As much as I would like to do this, the hosting provided by the customer won't allow anyone to install additional components.

    For the above reason, the pictures are stored in the DataBase (host won't let us upload them either).

    So, here comes my question:

    Does anyone know how to create a thumbnail on the fly given an image or a BLOB field?

    I am searching for a solution that is not as easy as "resize the img tag you are using".

    It could also be possible if you suggest me how to create a thumbnail before storing the picture in the database and save it in a thumbnail field.

    Thanks for your time and patience. If you need the code used to store the BLOB or display it, feel free to ask for it.
    We miss you, friend... Rest in Peace, we will take care of the rest of it.

    Hi.

    You cant do this or alter the dimensions of the blob image once committed to the recordset object, adn the solutions youre looking at is already in your question.

    Resize the IMG tag to suit this.

    Sorry I cant be of any further assistance..
