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.

That won't work for me. I need the pictures to be in the grid.

Thanks anyway,
