David,

In order to show how this can be done you would need to tell us what you are trying to do with the BMP that you have in the general field.

Basically, you add a MyBmp field C(60), you may make it larger or smaller depending on the path to your bmp files. In the MyBmp field you store the path and file anme for the bmp file that is associated with the record, as "\BMPS\MyImage.bmp". Note I am using relative pathing from the home directory of the application here, it makes life easier.

If you want to assign the bmp image to an Image control named Image1 in a form, in the form's Init you can;

SELECT Whatever
Thisform.Image1.Picture = Whatever.MyBmp
