Zaheed,

I wood recommend to store the path (or more sophisticated: copy the picture to a location bound to your data and link to that, use relative paths, then its closer to General without gerals problems.)

a general field may be altered using APPEND GENERAL like

lcPicture = GETPICT() &&dcAuftrag_Click_Ca1
APPEND GENERAL generalField FROM (lcPicture)

Note that a general field can not be updated via views. The negative on using paths strait away is that reports will not center imagtes that are bound to filenames. (IOW General fields will may centered.).
