Manually deleting each control, rewriting we are talking hours and hours of work.

I'm fairly new to programming and have little to no experience with sql and file transfers. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Link my program to a database containing images (or pathnames to images)
2. Allow user to select a starting image and ending image (max 50) based on image numbers (which they already know)
3. Collect selected images from DB or could just be a copy of the image.
4. Export images to a new folder so that my other program can process and OCR them
I have the form built, but I just can't figure this out.
