Try

CURSORSETPROP("MapBinary", .T., 0)
SQLExec(lnHandle,"select bImage from TableImage","tmp")
    strtofile(tmp.bImage, 'c:\myPicture2.jpg')
  Thisform.Image1.Picture= 'c:\myPicture2.jpg'
thisform.refresh()

though this

CURSORSETPROP("MapBinary", .T., 0)
SQLExec(lnHandle,"select bImage from TableImage","tmp")
Thisform.Image1.PictureVal = alltrim(tmp.bImage)
thisform.refresh()

should work as well - there are problems with certain images, as I recall from Calvin Hsia blog.

Try first the second approach and if would not work, try the first.
