Just make sure you have a naming convention or link the thumnail into your repository/DB so you don't loose that space when you delete the record. It really does not consume too much space, pretty easy to do, and a lot easier to manage if you do it in your control environment. -Brad > Ok, > > I know thumbnails have been discussed and I have looked at the archives, I > am just looking for opinions.
