Linear Hash can only store images in a record if a conversion is done to the image. The image would be in binary characters and may contain characters that are also what LH use's as delimiters. Therefore problems well most likely occur.

A way of getting around this conversion would be to store the path to the image instead of storing the image itself. With a few lines of code the user will assume the image is actually bound to the record. The procedure is illustrated in the next topic.

You can set the IMAGE property on a bitmap control to send the bytes in the image file to the control to display the image.  Alternatively, you can set the BITMAP property to set a path to the image file.
