>- You are right the data are in separate files DBF and FPT, and ok there is no extra low speed for seeking, that was a miss I did.

Sure. I missed this point too, so even we don't need 2 tables ;)

>- I have observed that storing the pictures in the FPT you have extra bytes. I can't remember is this was for JPEG or bitmap, but I got more or less a 10% percent more.

And that is why I never use general fields to store something. Extra overhead for what? 'DoVerb' to play sound? ;))

>- I wanna keep away from FPT all the data I don't really need there, and if this gaves me a table with no FPT. hurra! You should know of many FPT going corrupted.

VFP tables structure reliable enough to store large data in FPT. I never had situations when I need to recover memo data. However, I run 'PACK' each night, maybe that is a clue? ;)
