Hey Ken,

Good to see you here, too :)

I agree with you in that storing the images in a file is not the best way to go, but the folks I'm subbing this contract for want it that way...and he who pays the bills wins <g>!

>CREATE TABLE MyTest (cPicName C(10),gPicture G(4))
>APPEND BLANK
>REPLACE cPicName with "Test"
>APPEND GENERAL gPicture From "C:\MyPath\Test.BMP"

>To empty out the picture, use:
>BLANK FIELDS gPicture
