Well, I found the answer, but it's not a good one. DataClas creates a data object using SCATTER..NAME which of course does not support any sort of General fields. Great...
Off to find a way to hook into the save routines to populate the SQL IMAGE field offline, I guess.

>>I need to be able to retrieve and update small BMP images stored in SQL IMAGE fields using DataClas/VFP. It appears that any fields of the IMAGE type are ignored - if I reference the IMAGE field in an OLEBoundControl (using ThisForm.oMasterObject.oObjectStore.myimagefield), I get an error that this property is not found and the control is unbound. When I execute the save method, I get an erros that the stored procedure is expecting a parameter that hasn't been passed - this happens to be the image field. So it would appear that the storage and retrieval mechanism completely ignores the IMAGE types. Since Crystal Reports also cannot display images if connected via ADO (but does fine for ODBC connections), is this a limitation of ADO and not DataClas/VFP? Is there any solution? Storing just the picture file name is out of the question as there is no way to display it in Crystal Reports. These are tiny files (< 1K) so data storage is not an issue here.
