(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.

Well that explains that lol I have not used blobs in VFP at all. I am still using VFP8 and will probably not upgrade unless M$ gives me a free version of VFP9 (why not they gave me free versions of VS.NET2005 <s>)
Semper ubi sub ubi.
