Pascal,
General fields do not simply store the file itself but embed OLE info about the server that created the file. When it needs to show it seeks for the server it was created in. If not installed then displays an icon instead. At least IE can display jpegs and installed in your computer doesnt mean it'd show. If IE was the application that created the jpg then would work. Hope I'm not making it complex while trying to explain:)
My suggestion do not use general fields. You can use memo binary or BLOB in VFP9 for storing such files if you ever need to store them. Otherwise just store their path&filename and display using an image control.
