Hi

Thanks for the reply, the size of the picture depends on the user taking it, although I am going to teach them how to reduce picture sizes, so hopefully 1mb maximum, but the possibility of more would be good. I had written the program to use a file store instead and just link the picture via filename, but it didnt work very well as the users copied, moved deleted pictures, and refernces ended up lost. So I want to store the pictures in the database to get around this problem.

Cheers
