Okay, I'm a green horn !!
Q) Can CC cope with images ??
What is the best way, to store the image name in a field, or import the
image into access ???
I have downloaded the manual, but still don't see the best way to store and
retrieve an image. !
Q) Can CC send email's (for example if you have lost your password type your
email address in here and click "email me my password again please") ??
Q) Can CC cope with uploaded files, I have seen sites that offer the ability
to "Browse" and upload a file, again I'm thinking of images !
Sorry if these all sound stupid, but we all have to begin somewhere ..
Thanks in advance
Chris

Chris,
I have been working with CC for about 6 weeks now. At this stage, it
is NOT a tool that will generate all of the code you need to build a
Web app. It will save you a great amount of time in building the
hardest part of an app, the database interactions - Insert, Update,
Delete, Select (search). You can build very simple apps that interact
with a db if you know how to build one in Access. For anything more
complex than inserts or queries, you will have to get your hands into
the code, like to do what you want to do here.
If you don't have a lot of experience, not to worry. There are a few
people in this group who have learned ASP or PHP with CC. To put it
more succinctly, CC will assist you in your development.
First things first. When you installed CC, an Examples folder was
added to the same directory that CC was installed in. Open every
example and study how CC generates code and where some of the custom
code was entered.
Now to answer your questions...
> What is the best way, to store the image name in a field, or import

Add only the path to the image in your Access db, example:
/images/image_name.gif
> Q) Can CC send email's (for example if you have lost your password
type your
> email address in here and click "email me my password again please")
??
Yes. Create a "forgot password?" link to a one text box form. The
text box should be where your user enters their username or email
address. Perform a select query (lookup) of all matches to your
username or email address and mail the user their username and
password. CC will not do this for you. This is what I eluded to in
my opening paragraph.
There is a "Tell a Friend" example that you can use with CDONTS.

Trust me, you don't want to store images in Access. Search this
newsgroup for "upload" and you will see several discussions about file
upload utilities. Support also posted something recently about it.
Most of the time, you will not receive the total answer from start to
finish regarding development issues. People are more than willing to
help you if you get "stuck," but few people have the time to build it
for you. If you need more specifics than my answers, write what you
are doing (what code you are working with, what event you are working
in, etc.) and what your problem is, then someone will help you get
past that "stuck" point.
