>>>>>If you use a general field, this field gets associated with a specific program. If this program isn't installed on a machine, the field won't show as expected, which is what you see. That's one of many reasons why general fields should NOT be used. It sounded like a good idea when they were introduced, but experience has shown that they are a real pain to work with. Cyanide is quicker...

>>>A blob field is NOT a general field, and a general field is NOT a blob field. These field types are technically very different. The most important difference is that a general field is tied to an external application, e.g. Excel or Word, while a blob field are "independent" and are usually used together with an Image control using its PictureVal property.

The problem is that i am between two apps i didn't do, but i need to use..... The first makes the signature... the last prints it..and i can't change them.....in the middle i have to adapt the file generated to be printed... the ideal solution is to convert the png file i recive from the signature app in bmp. i found some tools to convert png 2 bmp but i some situation the bmb generated has the background black (where there was the transparency).... i don't understand why the same tool works fine on some systems and not on other....
