VFP has a general field, but its use has two basic problems: 1) Too much spaceis wasted. 2) It is difficult to get the pictures (or other files) out again.
The usual recommendation, here in the UT, is to keep the image as a separate JPG file (for example), and to have a small field with only the filename.
A second option is to copy the JPG file into a memo binary. Personally, I prefer the first option.

I am really looking for any information on how to do this. Possible using calling a com object to put the image in the file?
