If you want to keep things simple and reduce chances of data corruption, best thing is to store the graphics files separately in their own directory, and add a character field to the table which stores the name and path of the graphics file.

I have now changed the picture field in the database to a text field and have created a separate directory (C:Databasepicturespersons) on disk for the pictures as you recommended. The database text fields have been entered, as this example shows: "C:DatabasepicturespersonsPersonPict_1.bmp" "C:DatabasepicturespersonsPersonPict_2.bmp" etc. In my DataModule, i have an Employee TTable, where there are persistant fields created. One of the fields is the text field with the directory and filename. On my form i have put a Timage component named ImagePerson. I had an idea of putting an OnChange procedure to one of the datafields to load the image from a DBEdit which was on the form with the datasource and datafield connected to the string. Something like this. procedure TfrmCustomer.dbedFirstNameChange(Sender: TObject); begin ImagePerson.Picture.LoadFromFile(dbedDirAndFile.Text); end; I keep getting an Debugger Exception Notification ....raised exception class EInvalidGraphic with message 'Unknown picture file extension(.)' Can you give me an advice. ? Regards Magnus S. Petersen "Rick Carter" <carterrk (AT) despammed (DOT) com> skrev i en meddelelse news:4006cff8 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com... Quote: "Magnus S.
