You can store files in the memo or memo/binary field in foxpro table using Filetostr() function and Replace command. Strtofile() function can write it back to file. Be advised that memo files are prone to bloat and corruption. If you've a lot of big files than you can soon reach 2Gb limit.

Another solution would be to store the files in the separate directory or directories and keep only full name of the files in the foxpro table.
