There are pros and cons for the saving of images into a db. The backup procedure protects your data! Images are huge and will fill up the available space in a table faster then you think. Links can change if a new sever comes in. Been there and done that! Updates to images may need to keep the existing one and only show the replacement. The DB solution is much better at all of this and if you use a non fox db it may be the best way to handle a lot of images. -- 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.
