Hi there - no worries I've got it. It is a php script 'Thumbnail Image Generator' that you link to via the image source:
img src=http://www.example.com/thumbnailscript.php/?src=<?php echo ($row_WADAschool['pic']); ?>&x=200&y=100&q=50&f=0
The figures at the end relate to max size and compression setting
The <a href= link is the directory + Recordset so you can use it with lightbox to pop-out the larger file and you can still filter the recordset using the ID number ~ WHERE userID = userID etc (so that only the images associated to a specific user will show)
Happy Days!
