What about using the 'G' (General) field type...or is that actually the same thing as the memo/binary?

>The 'P' field type cannot be used for anything because it is not implemented. You choices is to store pictures in the memo/binary or keep them on disk and store only file name in the table. The second one is preferable because it allows to avoid memo bloat and corruption.
