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

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.
