Mohammed. You cannot assign the general fields contents to the image object. The picture property expects a file name. You need to first extract the image from the general field to a disk file and then assign the disk file to the image picture property.

* setup temp file name
cPicFile = "C:\Temp\" + SYS(2015) + ".bmp"

* copy pic file to temp disk file
COPY MEMO pic.pic TO (cPicFile)

* set picture
thisform.image1.picture = cPicFile

* form runs, etc
...

* on form release cleanup the temp file
DELETE FILE (cPicFile)
