Is that how you do it? (Or is there a better way??) If you have a table that stores information about the images then I suggest you use the record ID alone (with the correct file-extension) as a filename. This will allways be unique, otherwise you probably have trouble with your dB aswell... This is how I do it. Regards Joakim Andersson
