how to insert images...

Complete SQL newbie here.......running SQL 2k.
I created a datatype called 'Picture' of type Image using Enterprise
Manager's Design Table function.
My question, how can I specify what the image is for a given table
row/entry? For text data types I can just type in what I want the
value to be.
Most answers I've seen talk about running scripts to do inserts.
There's got to be a drag 'n drop or File/Open type way of doing this.
I mean I remember watching people do this with a database app on a
NextStation way back when (drag n drop).....you'd think the mighty
SQL Server 2000 would have similiar abilities.
Any help appreciated.
J.Sorry, SQL Server isn't a WYSIWYG editor, and there is no drag 'n' drop
interface.
In most situations, it's probably not a good idea to store an image in your
database anyway... See for more info:
