>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.

Don't use general fields.

Use a table of the filenames/paths and use an Image control to show them.

VFP 6 will show .JPG and .GIF files as well - VFP 5 will only show .BMP
