Hi Vlad,
With some workarounds to overcome some "Server not available" and other nonsense, known-issue errors, I have found General fields quite reliable for storing Office documents. In fact, I only just started re-evaluated using them last year after some bad initial experiences.
What do they say? If it ain't broke, don't fix it but I'm being forced to "fix" it. LOL.
>I forget about General fields so far because they are quite bad thing in VFP and quite not reliable. If you have ability, get rid of then as sson as possible. If you cannot... well, see below.
