Thanks Dan I will have about 10,000+ "notes" in varchar per year and could end up with 100,000 or more over the years.

I have currently over 4,000 images stored in a table without any problems.

I plan on storing aprox 300-500 notes a week in a Varchar field. The notes will be from 2k to 10k.

If you're talking about a lot of documents, store them in a subfolder and, within R:BASE, just store the path to the doc.

At present we can print them from a form I created that uses the LAUNCH command. Can I import these documents into a table within RBASE and if I can what data type would I use? Jim I am using the latest version of 7.6.
