Charlie,
Don't convert the variable with "[" and "]" brackets to a VARBIT data type. You'll get garbage.
Try the update command using .vGraphicFile variable.
UPDATE Conference SET Graphic = .vGraphicFile + WHERE Topic = .fTopic AND SlideNo = .fSlides
Variable vGraphicFile includes everything what R:BASE needs to load/update the record.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
