I don't think so. The idea behind the Binary Memo is that if the image gets deleted from disk, you can re-save the. I would ditch the idea of using general fields and link the image to a file instead.

>Hi John,
>Thanks for your answer. I've tried it and it works fine. The thing is that when I have the image stored in a general field it's easy to display it on a form with an oleboundcontrol. If I store the image in a binary memo I have to write the field on disk and then read the file and display it. Is there any way to display the image directly from the binary memo field?
