Nope it can't be done. ;-> Bad Steve! The datatype should be text. You can put the entire content of the doc into that no problem. I have used it to store xRays and other medical images. This one table became the biggest one in the db that I was responsible for. In excess of 600 gig about a year ago. How to push it from VFP, someone else will have to chime in on that. In general you would probably do a FTOS() and then pass that var in your insert statement. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
