Is there any way to create a .rtf file from a dbf file with general field? I need to export the pictures in a gen field, from a dbf file to be read in WORD. I'll appreciate any suggestion. Thanks
 
Assuming that you are using FPW, you can use DDE to create a Word document directly from within a Foxpro application.

I have not personally used it for placing pictures, so I cannot confirm that it will work, but for Character, Date, and Numeric data it works fine.

Realistically I have found it to be a relatively slow operation, depending on how much data is to be written, but it does work.

Good Luck,
