You typically don't store the image in the access database...just the path to it.

I agree about not storing the image in the Access database itself - for one thing Access really bloats way out of proportion if you do a lot of that.

The Anonymous Internet user needs Change permission on the folder that a file is going to be uploaded to and actually Full Access might be better if you are later going to use the FileSystemObject to delete a file.

And whatever file uploading solution you use, on the page in question you will no longer be able to refer to regular form fields with Request.Form("MyField"). Instead there will be some kind of proprietary way to refer to the fields.

Here is a resource for letting the user upload a file which is something that was unfortunately not built into ASP:
