Glenn,

It sounds to me like there may be something wrong with the FPT file that is holding the general field's contents. Can you view the bmp's in a form with an oleboundcontrol? Someone else may be able to be of more help to you since I do not use general fields at all prefering to handle OLE documents as files on disk and not relegate them to a general field.
