Hi Fabio,

Thank you for taking the trouble.

Now I get an 'Operation is invalid for a General field' error.

In VFP help on Image.PictureVal it says:

You cannot use a general type field for eExpression because general fields store additional unrelated binary data. 

But in order to update the field to SqlServer it has to be of type general.

The LoadPicture() function does not seem to be of any use either.

In short: what to I do?
