>Somehow, we were able to bring up the large image when we modi memo general instead of the icon hot link. But I'm not sure how.

Is your goal to edit an image from VFP, or to simply display the image. If you want to display the image on a form or report, it's better to save the file's path information in a memo field and bind that to the picture property on an image control.

If the image is static (that is, it never changes), simply put the filename info in the picture property.
