>The images will take up the same amount of space whether they are in a table or stored as independant images. Perhaps a bit of overhead for the table, but at least you avoid the directory mess....

I wished. It is just that I did that in Access, storing images IN the tables and this is what I got -> 540 megs for only 52 images! And the VFP people saying the SAME THING, so do you know about this or have you even done that? How are they saved as in the table? Please expound.
