Nadya,

You caught me in the middle of fiddling...the link momentarily wasn't there (I think I had put Faq ID #575). You used to be able to cut/paste right from the FAQ page. Anyway, I got my message updated before you got your reply to me posted, go back 2 messages to see :)

>>Another option: Don't store pictures in general fields. In your table, simply store the file names of the pictures. This will make your tables smaller and more manageable...general field bloat causes the tables to be *much* larger than the sizes of the picture files themselves.

>>You gain a lot of flexibility, you will avoid the issues you are having now, and it is easy to display them on forms with the picture control and on reports.

>>For more info on displaying on report, see Faq #575. Hmmm...there doesn't appear to be a convenient way to put a link to a faq anymore. Go to FAQ's and put 'JPG' in the summary search. It is called 'JPGs in a VFP 6 Report', but it applies to BMP files also.
