Hi Diego, I have used Valentina DB (www.paradigmasoft.com) with success for these sorts of things and have been fairly happy. You have the option of storing filenames/paths in a text field, or actually storing the image data ITSELF inside a BLOB field. With the xtra you can also bind specific cast members to fields and they will update when you navigate through your cursor (aka recordset). You can also use INM's V12 xtra for this, but I chose Valentina because it appeared to be more flexible, faster, and it uses SQL, which I have use on a regular basis.
Valentina is a little more cryptic and takes some getting used to, but it's a neat little tool to use once you get the hang of it.

Question is: can i use databases with lingo. What kind of databases? can you suggest somewhere where i can get info on how to do this? What i need to do is load images into director selected among the images which are in the database. The database is just a pointer to the real image in the disk, meaning i use the database to sort images, put the real images in a directory in the disk and use director to perform a series of things to load a numer of those images, then i need director to access the database and oad into memory the selected images.
