The image1.picture is expecting a string...the name of a file that contains a picture.
I assume your general field contains the actual picture itself. If you have a BMP file embedded in the field, you can use the 'embossedole' class in wizards\wizembss.vcx...drop it on your form and set the properties...and the picture may appear.
If you have a JPG, I believe you have to have an OLE server installed on your machine (such as paintbrush) to get the image to display on a form. You use an OLE control to show the picture.

I can't help you more than that...I store the file name of the picture I want to display in the table, and use the image control.
