Do your CFDIRECTORY, and then do a QofQ to pull out the next/prev item (this will get the next item, assuming you're going in filename order);
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="getNext" maxrows="1"> SELECT * FROM imageList WHERE [name] > <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#currentName#" /> ORDER BY [name] </cfquery> For previous, make it a < comparison, and add DESC to the ORDER BY clause. Just make sure you check to see that there was a record returned. If there isn't you'll know you either asked for the image after the last image, or the image before the first one. cheers, barneyb On 6/23/05, B G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been noodling around with a photo gallery which relies on Picasa2 to > create thumbs and web friendly images.
