Instead of saving the jpg into a general field I just store the name of the jpg in a character field. I then display the jpg by setting the picture property of the image control.

>I have a table with a general field. Everytime I "Append General" or insert (a jpeg picture) all I get is the default jpeg picture icon. Whether or not I say "embed", "link" or "display as icon" I still receive the default icon. The only way I can get the picture to display properly is to open the general field in a separate window and paste the picture via opening the picture in a separate program and copying.
