The program he is attempting to use apparently stores the pictures it uses in such a field. These pictures are currently stored as GIFs (I believe) on the hard drive. I can write a program to cycle through a dir on the disk, but would I just read the text into a string and dump it into the field, save and move on? Has anyone ever done this? I included AccessD in this request as I am guessing I'll just do it through VBA in AccessD. John W.
