ALL SOURCE CODE INCLUDED
This works with MSACCESS or (SQL SERVER 7 / SQL SERVER 2000).
Directions and scripts are provided for using SQL server.
You can literally have it set up in less than an hour. It takes 15 minutes to set up a working ASP Photo Gallery SQL system from scratch using these directions and scripts.

Disclaimer... www.CJWSoft.com makes no guarantee about the security this script offers. Use this at your own risk. To the best of knowledge it is very secure, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug or some hacker will never find a way into it. We recommend you rigorously test it and change the password on the Access database before you start using this. That way if someone downloads your database they will a hard time getting anything useful out of it especially since the database supplied with this download is also encrypted. There are utilities available to crack Access database's so if you really want secure password protection you should port this to a SQL database.  If using Access and your web is frontpage enabled you can right click on a folder in frontpage explorer and choose properties, this will allow you to uncheck "allow files to be browsed" which will stop people from downloading your Access database if they somehow figure out the URL.
