Hi Francesco,
That is not (within) my province, but I try and see that pictures in .jpg are 3 less then the same in .bmp.
Blob field, Filetostr and strtofile does the job. Each *bmp (16 color)weights almost 50 kb: 1000 records x50 is 50M. Do you think converting to jpeg is less heavy?
Francesco,>>REPLACE blob_field WITH FILETOSTR("c:\..\myjpg.jpg")
and reverseSTRTOFILE(blob_field,"c:\...")
