>>>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 just tested it. Create a form, open the DE, drop a grid on the form and then drop an image control on the column you want it in. Select that column and in the properties window select the default control for that column. Then click on that control in the grid and press delete. That should leave you with an image control in the grid.

Yeah, I know. That's how I have it now. I was looking for a way to put it in the cursor. I ended up using 2 image controls and the dynamic control property. That works for this case since there's only 2 options, but not so good if there's a lot of different pictures.
