I have a database link on my page that goes to a thumbnail, and when clicking on the thumbnail, the client should go to a larger picture. However, the picture is on a different companies website, and they are adding 1 or 2 random numbers to the end of my filenames. See below:

Here's my page, enter Bib# "577" as a test:
http://www.baileysphotoofnorfolk.com/kale/kaleevents.html

currently goes to this page after clicking on the thumbnail:
http://www.bpon.exposuremanager.com/p/vadu_5k_run/VADURunBib577.htm

and it should go to this page:
http://www.bpon.exposuremanager.com/p/vadu_5k_run/vadurunbib577015

Can I add a wildcard to the end of my <a href> statement for the random numbers? I am able to export their data into an excel file, and then add that to my Access database. However, with racers that have multiple pictures, I'd like to use the wildcard since their bib# won't change.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi.

I can't think of a solution off the top of my head but I'm sure that you can't use a wildcard in the href attribute if that helps at all.

Sadly, I think you'd have to manually find the URL for each file.
