>>>You may or may not have the original file name stored into some other field. But then, this won't do you no good if you want to use this .bmp right away, directly from the memo field. It's just stored there, but VFP knows only it's a bunch of bytes in a memo field, and doesn't know if it's a horse or a laser or what. If you need to use it to be displayed right out of the field, you'd better manage to get Append General (is he a real general? I've heard he's just a relative to gen. Fields) working.

I might also add, it's pretty ugly. I think you might want to look at generating an html page and viewing them in the browser, or putting an image control on the form and refresh it's picture property from the grid.
