Hello Cecil,

PMFJI.

What Cathy is describing has nothing to do with the length of the file name. In the .frx file (in the Picture field), only the relative path is stored. So, if you are in the c:\ponew directory when you create and save the report, only "signatur.jpg" will be stored in the .frx file (even though the full file name is displayed in the report designer).

If you are in a neighboring directory to c:\ponew, VFP may only store "..\ponew\signatur.jpg" in the .frx. This will cause problems if the .exe is eventually run from a different location.

HTH...
