texte = Thanks John, I will give that a shot. But here is the problem with that. Yahoo! images are named something like "storename_1752_140083", it does not give me a "real" name that I can associate back to the product that it belongs to. That's the reason why I wanted to use WebDNA so that I can rename each image to the "codename" of the product. That's what Yahoo! requires. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
