how do i use that to 'filter' out certain file extensions so that the file field only accepts, for example: .bmp and .jpg files?

and lastly, how do i upload the images to the database via file field?

thanks for helping :D

You can use the MID() or SPLIT() VBScript function on the file variable to extract the extension part and validate/upload thereafter.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
