# that is very odd..
sorry about this but,

tj: anybody know how to, in ASP, load from a database, and have a query (ie index.asp?dir=1&id=1 ).
so, it picks up the dir and id from the database and then shows the name (i really don't know how to explain it)

Someone, somewhere, does know whatever it is you want to know

# sounds
like you want to be using something like

Server.mapPath

I can`t really rememeber as I haven`t ASP-d in a long while - are you doing some kind of gallery or sommat?

# well, i can load the db
it's for my site...

say, if i have index.asp?dir=1&id=1 i want the page to say something
and if i have index.asp?dir=1&id=2 i want it to say something else.

and the feilds in my db are dir, id and name...

# ok
so you look sommat up in your database, and get back a directory and an id - you just want to print out the name field?

is this like a template-based page where the text for certain bits comes from the database?
