Dynamic image display?

Hello, can you guys help me? I'm not sure exaclty how to approach this. I am very new to UltraDev, but this is what I'd like to do:

I am running ASP with Access and IIS5. On the server, there's an image folder with a bunch of GIFs. The names are:

a_1.gif, a_2.gif, a_x.gif, etc.
b_1.gif, b_2.gif, b_x.gif, etc.
c_1.gif, c_2.gif, c_x.gif, etc.

The number of each image (a, b, and c) varies and sometimes doesn't exist at all.

I'd like to dynamically display every image of each type (a, b, and c) in seperate rows of a table. This means that sometimes there may be many images which would wrap to the next line within the row. Other times there may no images for that type and the row would be empty.

Is there a way to do this without manually storing and updating the location of each image in the database? Can UltraDev take a look in a particular folder (through a script maybe) and determine what is available to display? Or is this done by the database software (in this case Access).

Thanks in advance for any advice. I greatly appreciate it!!
