Default Datagrid to display thumbnail images

I am a bit noew to this process, and did post a question to asp.net and got some good feedback. We are using a datagrid to display information from an Access database, wonderfully. I want the row record set to include a thumbnail gif ( an optional company logo). For instance, how could I return an image url as one of the fields returned and have that image appear?

Tks
Sam

You could have a text field in the database that stores the URL as text. Of course you may want to normalize this, so that each URL only exists once in the database. (If they are comany logos, you probably wouldn't want a URL for each order that the company has, but one per company.)

Tks John. Could you take a second and elaborate a little on "normalize"? We have created a separte column to hold the text url location of each gif. But, the aim is to have it display the gif rahter than the text string of the url for the gif. I know you know what I'm trying to say.

Tks
Sam
