These guys have advised me for years and believe me, DON'T USE gen field to store picture data... 3-obvious solutions... first create an /IMAGE folder and store all of .jpg s in that folder [1] Client-id applied to each jpg image instantly gives you 1-logo per client. [2] If you default a zero in a pic-no field you can point everyone without a logo to 0.jpg no image graphic [3] if you must have multiple instances then each jpg must have a unique address and you will have a linking table

I have a copy of the report code on my desktop but will need to lookup the report listener code on my laptop at another site. The report gets the name of the jpg file from a database and has "Center" into the User data field under the Other tab of the Picture properties. If this approach would still be useful to you I will try to look it up and post the actual code sometime this week.
