>>Now, you have just created a file named Myfile in TIF format. This format is viewed by default in Win98 by Kodak Imaging Preview, and can be printed. Also, it is very compact for documents ( i.e. not images ): they weigh something like 40 to 50k / page.

Put a FoxHWnd control on the report, and have your pictures in a general field. The file will be huge, because general fields (quite unnecessarily) contain a .bmp version of the content, so better keep them in a cursor. Point your FoxHwnd control to the general field in your cursor and that's it. Sorry, can't give you the code because it's proprietary, and, besides, we're not using FoxHwnd - it's LeadTools actually, but I did try FoxHwnd at a time and it should be different only in the Append General ... Class {name} - it should have a different name.
