>>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'.

David, I agree with you regarding referencing the pictures filenames from a table. IMHO, it is more convenient to keep pictures outside. I remember several threads about "How can I extract my pictures from General field?"...
