Hi!

To provide the best way, need to know how you're going to use it. There are several approaches and each have advantages and disadvantages. Few of them that I know are the most popular:

- Store image in general field. Take some more size and require OLE server on each client machine, but is very easy to print in report and display in grids.
- Store images on the file server in special images folder, in the table just store tha image file name. This way takes minimum space, but have overhead when many users use images through the network. In addition, it is harder to display images list in grid and tricky when printing them. Images are accessible from the files on disk that might be also important from the sequrity point of view.
- Store images in the memo field and work with binary data using FileToStr() and StrToFile() functions to save image on temporary disk image file and show it or print. Similar to previous but even more programming to display and print.
