Tunsin or Jegede (your first name ?)

You could also store only the path to the picture
in the memo field.

Hi tunsin:

I recommend that you either use FileToString() and store the bitmap in a
memo binary field or simply create a character field in the table to hold a
path to the BMP file and point to the image file.

I have seen many problems when storing images in the general field. This is
especially true with distributing apps to machine that have differing OLE
servers used to display the image.

I hope this helps.
