How do u save an image in a record. So as each record in a file can have a different image to help the user to confirm that the correct grass has been found.

Hi Foxstudent,<br> Check out the APPEND GENERAL command in the help file. <br><br>FWIW, and this is only my preference, but I never use General fields. If I have a need to reference an outside file for each record, i.e. an image,spreadsheet,etc., then instead of using a General field to store the actual object, I use a memo field to store the path to the file. <p>Jon Hawkins<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Carpe Diem! - Seize the Day!

Hi Foxstudent,<br><br>I fully support Jon in saying the best way to handle graphic and other such files is through a reference to an outside file.<br><br>You could try the Kodak Image Edit Control as an alternative means of displaying your images.<br><br>It's scrollable with a zoom facilty, will flip, rotate, print etc.<br><br>Documentation is sparse but there is a downloadable example at the UniversalThread website in the files section, under the title of "Wang" or similar.<br><br>Chris
