This works

Append General bitmap From 423m.bmp Class bitmap

It adds the bmp file to the current record, which happens to have a keycode
of 423

So I need to set up a SCAN with maybe a DO CASE statement

Objet : RE: How to update a General field


What I am want to do is place a bmp file into an existing table which has
a
General field
based on the contents of a keycode field.

That is I would like to place a 423m.bmp file into the General field
bitmap
if the keycode
is 423.

I am using 6.0 at home and 5.0 at work.

TIA

Sounds like you want the Append General and Modify General commands.

I haven't used general fields. I'd guess others haven't either, so venture
to say we're interested in any feedback. My gut feeling is it will work
just
fine. If performance getting stuff in and out of general fields even
approaches STRTOFILE() or FILETOSTR() speed, you'll be very happy with
that
too.
