I have been using the General memo field for a couple of years finally ran out of memory for the gemeral field. I was able to place the image in the screen with the using the following syntax.


IIF(FILE(lcPathName + ALLT(cat_num)+'.Bmp') =.T.,lcPathName +cat_num,lcPathName +'Blank') BITMAP

lcPathName is defined in the screen setup code of FoxExpress 2.6 as
lcPathName ="c:\Green~1"
ALLT(cat_num) is a field in the Inventory program.

The images pop in not problems

Has anyone run reports that includes bitmap images using a path and not the general memo field. If the answer is YES can you enlighten me on how to do that. I have tried everything including using the above syntax in the variables definations of the report writer

Thanks

Ken.

PS I am converting my app to VFP 7.0 but the above issue will give me some breathing room as we keep running out of General memo filed room becuase of the 2 gig capacity.
