Hi Greg,

First, there'a no need for macro substitution in this case. W/o it code is simpler and readable

cPicture = sys(5)+curdir()+'RADIOGRAPHY\'+padl(cUser,8,'0')+'\'+ ;
			ALLTRIM(EVALUATE(radio.r_image'+tran(nCounter)))
STORE cPicture TO ('thisform.imgPicture'+tran(nCounter)+'.picture')

Try code above and if it doesn't work, tell what exactly doesn't work? Do you get an error or what?
