Thank you all for your opinions/advice.
I am happy to NOT store data in the General field, since the data is
already saved in DOC format, which is unique to each invoice.
("INV"+alltrim(str(invnum))+".DOC"
My remaining issue though, is there some way I can print a report with the
DOC file details.? (In much the same way as printing a report with a JPG
file, or otherwise)
