Hey Michael,

I just ran you image transfer app, and it worked great...but I'm still a bit stuck on where to go with this thing.

What would you suggest...the program spec's are currently such that these image files of the students (in Nigeria, which are picture, thumbprint and signature) are stored in a table. We could get the spec's changed if we prove good reason.

My concers about putting them in a memo field are:

1. The unstable nature of a memo field, especially with the size this sucker would grow to.
2. The images will be pulled out for editing (typically brightness and contrast) and put back in...resulting in .FPT bloat and required PACK MEMO.

I tried putting the image in a general field, but couldn't get it back out...I was using APPEND GENERAL for the in and COPY FIELD for the out. The file I got on the out was not recognized as a valid image file.

Any suggestions would be totally appreciated.

TIA
