Hi Hilmar
General field is a type of memo field for storing ole objects. If you simply store a picture in a general field (eg a jpg file) then the FPT file is the same size as storing the picture in a plain binary memo field. The general field will only take more space if you are storing an OLE object because then you store all the OLE references etc I assume.
