Best bet would be store path to a DOS file.

<QUOTE>Rick -



By "captured video image" do you mean an image that is stored in the clipboard, or one that is stored as a file?  If the image is stored as a file, what format (.BMP, .JPG, etc.) is being used?

I was just wanting to know if there is a way to integrate the data about the image and the image itself.



Thanks.

<QUOTE>Rick,

In my 3.61 I think the docs don't mention JPEGs, but they do work. But just as Aaron warned you about flavours of GIF that don't work, there are also flavours JPEGs that won't display. I wrote something about it recently, perhaps on the open discussion list, but I haven't got time to look it up now.

Do you by integrating mean store them both in the database itself? in general it's a better idea to store image files separately. Then you  can e.g access and use them from other programs. And your database tables don't become so bulky. Etc.
