I'll look at that, thanks George.

>>Hi David,

>>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...

>An icon file has a fixed size based on the icon's size, color resolution, number of icons and so on. For example, a 32x32 16 color icon file is always 766 bytes. You might try seeing if an icon file always begins at the same point within the General field.
