I wish to have a piece of code that help me save pictures of employees of a company and see them some other time.
Database used is SQL Server 2000.

Depends on what you want to do.  Are you trying to store a Byte Representation of an image in SQL or are you just wanting to store the path of the image in the database?

The latter of the 2 is trivial since you would just be inserting a varchar value of [path/to/image]

The former requires that you load the image into memory from a users HD, convert that image into a Byte Stream and then pass that byte stream into SQL (Column Type image) Using GDI you will be able to reassamble and view the image when pulling it from a database.

-------------------------
I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.  
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.
