Razzak, try to do this in a form. I think it works in the data browser but not on a field in a form. See my notes in RDCC submission. If you are in a varbit field in a form, the Viewer/editor defaults to the Images tab. Version 7.1.81.30907 I have no problems using a form to load an image this way in a previous version of RBG71. Thanks Bob

John Engwer, Bob Castanaro and Mark Kwoka, When using the Note/BLOB Field Viewer/Editor, to load the image for a column with VARBIT data type, make sure that you have selected the [Images] tab prior to loading the image. If the active tab is selected as [RTF] or [NOTE/VARCHAR], you'll NOT be able to save the image. To use this scenario, follow the exact steps as below and see what you find: 01. Start RBG7/RBG75 or RBG8 02. CONNECT ConComp 03. Database Explorer | Tables | Contact | Open Table Move your cursor to ContPhoto cell and press [F4] key to turn BROWSER into EDTOR Double-Click on the field Make sure that [Images] tab is selected Click on [Load From File] image icon Select the appropriate image and then click on [Open] button to load image Now click on the [OK] button to save the image Follow the next steps accordingly and click on [OK] to save the image in column. Are you all able to do that? I have no problem doing exactly as above, using the latest versions of RBG7, RBG75 or RBG8. What versions and builds are you all using? Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
