Hi John. Since my post I did also try the FILETOSTR()/STRTOFILE() functions on a jpeg and it worked for me so I also suspect that perhaps there is something wrong elsewhere.

>>I dont think you can use FILETOSTR() because of possible char convertions etc. Instead you can use the Binary Memo field of a table or cursor. Create a table/cursor with such a field. Then use APPEND MEMO to read in an image file and COPY MEMO to write it out to another file.
