mymemo contains x:\podverifydownload\files\tswiss010006.bmp which is the correct location of the image file - if I do the append mymemo I get a memo field with data in it but I can't open it as a picture - save as html doesn't help either - it just looks like rubbish

what am I doing wrong?

thanks

Colin
