>The problem is that this table is also used in an FPD26 app so it is a free fox2x table. The goal is to store an icon in the table so it can be copied from the table to a directory on the user's system only when they need it for a specific function in a third party app (it is part of a bridge). The table will never hold more than 10 or so records which we can redistribute when the icon changes (doubtful it ever will) or any of the values in the other fields change (possibility). This icon storage and copying of the icon portion from the table to the user's hard drive is the only part that's holding me up...
The trouble with a General field is that it is extremely difficult to get data out of it.
For a free FoxPro table, you might use a regular memo, and use the SET NOCPTRANS command.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
