It's possible - I think what you are describing is called "Hotlinking" but I think it is a bad idea. You never know what the other site owner will do with the picture (if it changes or moves), plus unless you have permission from the external site, its frowned upon. (Unless it is a link given to you for that purpose, like advertisement affiliate links, or special links made for this purpose i.e. adding a YouTube movie to your blog by using the link they give you.) To help protect sites that don't want this to happen to them, many hosting providers give their customers the ability to block people from "hotlinking" to their sites -- a great feature -- especially if your hosting company charges based on bandwidth. Having someones site like your store link to your images/etc. this way can be very costly to the site hosting the content that is being linked to, because while you (as the site owner with the stuff people are trying to link to) is paying for bandwidth associated with serving their images to other websites, he will most likely not earn any revenue from it (unless you are paying per view or something ..) Plus your site is at the mercy of the external site causing pictures sometimes changing or worse - slowing down the viewing of your catalog because the system serving the images is slow, or down, or whatever. Especially since your catalog could overload the external site with queries slowing that machine down... Sorry for the long winded answer. :) Are you trying to do this so that you don't have to take the time to get your own pictures? Copyright issues? Etc? -keith
