Kia,
Unfortunately, I am using FPW26 so I can't use binary memo fields. I looked into the Winfax SDK and found I could use that but I would also need VFP. Another dead end. There has to be a way to save a graphic file in FPW26 so I can combine it with other files to print it at a later time...

Please let me know if you can brainstorm anything!
Sally

>>How would I get the file into a general field? I created the file but the append general command gives me an error creating OLE object so I assume I need a class on the line but don't know what to use. Suggestions?
