>Well, I hate to disagree, but you can show jpegs also in VFP 6. I have a table with a field photo. That field is character, but could be a memo field. There I store the relative path to the photo and in the picture/activex bound control on the report (in the box marked file) I put the field name.

Hmp. I just never tried putting a variable name in there. Silly me. I just attribted that to a static path for a logo or something. THanks for keeping me in line.
