Stephen,
I never said use XMLToCursor(). It looks like you're doing this wrong from the start. Picture??? You say it now it stores a picture. Why are you storing pictures anyway. Store their path&filename instead and show via an image control.
Your question was about storing VFP memo (which can store any binary data) to SQL server image type (again which can store any binary data).
