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.

And with what command do you do this?
In my tests (I think I used APPEND GENERAL), the original JPG file was 50 KB, while the sample FPT file (with the single record) growed to more than 1 MB.
