      Upload.SetMaxSize 1048576 ' Truncate files above 1MB
      Upload.SaveVirtual "/data" ' Save to data directory

      ' Process all files received
      For Each File in Upload.Files
      File.ToDatabase ' Save in the database as blob
      "DSN=userid.dsn_name;UID=user_id;PWD=account_Password;",_"insert into UploadTable (id, FilePath, image)values (12, '" & File.Path & '",?)"

      Next

      ' Display description field
      Response.Write Upload.Form ("Description") & "<BR>"

      ' Display all selected categories
      For Each Item in Upload.Form
      If Item.Name = "Category" Then
      Response.Write Item.Value & "<BR>"
      End If

To include an uploaded image from your database in a web page you can use a regular <IMG> tag in your HTML page with the SRC attribute pointing to the asp script. Please see the following examples:

    <HTML>
    <BODY<br> <IMGSRC="getimage.asp?id=12">
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    <% Set Upload = Server.CreateObject ("Persits.Upload.1")

      Set db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
      db.Open "userid.dsn"
      Set rs =db.Execute("SELECT image FROM uploadTable where id = " & Request("id" )
      Response.ContentType = "image/gif"    (or "image/jpeg")
