Sounds real cool. And you're storing to a memo field, not a binary memo field?

I wonder if I should still use the MSSQL7 image type or the binary type on the backend.

Actually, I was thinking the general field type in VFP wouldn't be of that much use anyway, since I don't need the extra OLE stuff that a general field takes, I just need the file itself for a moment to pass onto MSSQL7.

Thanks for the idea!
