Hi Yolande. In this seminar, I really don't cover moving your images up to a WEB server. I just cover a normal FILE SERVER on your network. Uploading to a remote WEB server is a whole different ballgame. It's not super hard, but it involves some ASP programming.
Now, if your WEB SERVER is in your physical office and hooked up to your NETWORK (like one of mine is) then that's not a problem. Just set up the shared folder that you're using for your images on your WEB site. If you're using Microsoft Windows Server, you can do that in your IIS control panel (your IT person should know how). You can make any folder on your network a Virtual Folder in your web site.
If you have a web server in a DIFFERENT location (like hosted space on GoDaddy or some other ISP) then you'll have to upload the image files to that server. Setting up an AUTOMATED routine would take a good deal of programming. I could show you how, but it would probably have to be a separate seminar (at least a mini-seminar) in ASP.
If you upload the image files YOURSELF to the server using whatever web editor you have (FrontPage, Expression, etc.) then my Imaging Seminar DOES show you how to DISPLAY those images in your Access database (Lesson 20). But GETTING them there is the tricky part.
The Imaging Seminar is PRIMARILY for using Images WITH your ACCESS database - not a web site.
