>>It is OK to experiment a little with that, but I think the only advice you will get from here is to not store images as blobs. The general advice is to store the image filename (with or without path information) in the table (in a character field).

When I replied I might have been thinking about the general field instead of a blob field. (I need to learn to read what it says instead of what I think/want it says <s>) I have not used blobs in VFP enough (when was it introduced, 7 or 8?) to really have a good answer for that. Regardless, depending on the nature of the app, I think storing the image filename in a character field is a good solution.
