Datatype to capture and display image in FoxPro

 

Hi,

If you want to store your image in your FoxPro3, you have to choose between the three options below:

1. General Fields: in this case, the image will be stored in the DB, it can be deleted and edited, but for this you will need an external program to manipulate the image.

2. Small char field that stores the filename of the image file: with this option, the image is stored somewhere else then the table, the Small char field with contains the path to the image, some image can be deleted by mistake which is not suited.

3. Memo field that stores the image data: the image is stored in the table and can be removed; this option seems to be the most suitable.

Thank you
