I've been trying that every which way I can think of, but the best I can get is an error message telling be 'invalid path or file name'. It seems to want a hard coded file, and I can't find a way to use a field at all. Trying to use a macro gives a syntax error.

Do you simply enter a field name and that's it? Like I said, when I try that, I get an error.

For the record, I know the path/file name in the field is correct.

I'm using VFP7 sp1. Is it different in V8?

>>>Is there a sensible way to include images in reports that change with the record other than using GENERAL fields. Our image file names are stored in a file. I guess I can create a new file with a GENERAL field on the fly as the erport is being generated - but thats not ideal. Thanks, Denis
