>I think that I may have figured out a workaround, however. All images are kept as JPEG files. I convert them, on the fly, to BMPs, store them in a temporary folder and then import them into a general field in a temporary cursor for printing. I'll spend the day writing a routine to copy the image report to a temporary folder, open the report file as a table, scan through and find the image object record and then replace the placeholder with the full path of the temporary BMP file. This will eliminate the need for general fields completely. Hopefully, that'll work as a temporary bandaid while I continue the process of rewriting my complete imaging and reporting module into VFP9.

...as the blind men said.

Good luck!
