I have found out that you cannot use the replace with command with a general field. I am back to using the Append General, which should work. However what is happening is that the new image is stored in a new record and not placed in the existing record. The form was created with the wizard and I suspect that there is something going on in the classes of the txtBtns. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Brad.
