Aloha, Thanks Nigel, and all. Even exporting the picture also causes a crash on some of the pictures.
I’ll do some more testing. In answer to Charles’s questions, both server and client are on a Mac, so quicktime is installed by default. I don’t see how to determine if a picture is compressed. I’ll try these things next: Convert to PNG. If that works, convert again to JPG Try PICTURE to BLOB, then BLOB to PICTURE instead of CONVERT PICTURE Try the obsolete " _o_QT COMPRESS PICTURE” I’ll let you all know what works for these funky pictures.
