With VFP tables, there are mainly two alternatives.
1) Keep the documents in separate files. In VFP, have a small field with the filename.
2) Store the entire document in a Memo Binary field. When needed, extract to disk in order to view it.
A third option, using General fields, is usually discouraged, since it causes too much trouble.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
