>I was wondering whether it is possible to save pictures in a GENERAL field automatically providing the user gives the filename.

Don't know much about General fields, though you can store a BMP or other image file (or anyfile really) in a memo field using FileToStr(). You can then extract it when needed to disk using StrToFile().

>Also, when I display the images, would it be possible to resize them for displaying them (say as thumbnails)?

Depends on the viewer your general field uses or however that works. I do know the VFP Image Baseclass can strech and Shrink pictures though.
