RV load the SQL image field into a VFP general ( VFP8 setting )
Use MapBinary to force VFP blob mapping:

CURSORSETPROP("MapBinary",.T.,0)
* or try
DBSETPROP(viewname, "VIEW", ("MapBinary",.T.)

>>>Scenario:
>>>
>>>1) Sql Server backend
>>>Field Logo of type Image
>>>
>>>

>>>Update dbo.Businesses set Logo = 'H:\Develop\Graphics\budget_logo.gif' Where BusinessId = 2
>>>
>>>(1 row(s) affected)
>>>

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>2) VFP remote view
>>>Field Logo of type BLOB
>>>
>>>--Form Refresh
>>>

>>* PictureVal  is a value, no a cExpression
>>This.Logo.PictureVal = MyView.Logo
>>>

>>>
>>>Nothing much happens, so obviously it's a snafu.
