>>I have a few houndred pictures from my hometown as .bmp files in a CD. Now I would like to make an album program, Description, picture-name, searching for the right picture and so on. I am able to do everything, but the 'show picture' part. Have just upgraded to vfp 5, so this litle project could be a nice learning experience for me. Does anyone have any tips for 'How to show .bmp on the screen from within Visual Foxpro 5.0'.

>Using General type field could contain picture files. Look for APPEND GENERAL feature for saving picture to general field format, and use OLE container control them.

OLE Container is a standard VFP's Form control. There are two types of OLE form control: OLE Bound and OLE container, the latter has the whiter color than the first.
