I store my pdf assembly drawings in a folder and link to them via the forms/reports.
I do store my part pictures because they are only 50-80k in size. I have over 5,000 part pictures stored in rbase!

We are planning to go to 9.1 32, hopefully sometime this summer. Right now the database is not even at 400 MG. Plus we would be getting rid of the BMP files that now are used for assembly drawings. So I do not know that would be a problem. So it is possible and what would the data type be?

Remember that 7.6 has a 2GB limit. As soon as you cross that barrier, only RBTI can recover your data.

We are considering doing the same for the assembly drawings. However instead of going outside of RBASE, we are also considering bringing those PDF into a table. Is that possible and if so what data type do I use in the field that would hold the PDF? We are using 7.6. James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990
