If original files are not available he can use ADO to bring the images back from the database. This is an example that uses SQL Server but making it work with VFP should not be difficult.

*--- Coneccion: Method that establish a connection to the database
*--- Getrs    : Method that execute a T-SQL Sentence against the DB
*--- Desconectarse: Method to finish the connection
*--- Datos    : Property that holds the ADO Recordset object created

Thisform.Coneccion()
	Thisform.Datos=Thisform.Getrs([Select * From Fotos Where Secuencia=6])
Thisform.Desconectarse 

cFile=ADDBS(SYS(2023))+Thisform.Datos.Fields('Nombre').Value

IF FILE(cFile)
	ERASE &cFile
ENDIF 

oSt = CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.Stream")
oSt.Open
oSt.Type=1 &&&& adTypeBinary


oSt.Write(Thisform.Datos.Fields('Foto').Value)
oSt.SaveToFile(cFile)
oSt.Close()
Thisform.image1.Picture=cFile 
Thisform.Refresh
