>I'am working with images (JPG, not BMP) and I found that fpt is exact copy of original image file. If you open appropriate fpt file you will see that the only difference is Foxpro Header but Image programs which I use don't care about headers. So I just set pointer to a record and issue command:

if you have an OLE complient viewer
u can just store the image name in the table and save the .fpt bloat problem (when u make a change to a memo field ,general or other, FP/VFP just copies the field again (until u do a pack memo))
