Subject Copy an image field from one table to another From roy price <royprice@royprice.name> Date Fri, 16 Apr 2021 05:18:27 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hello Again, I was gaily adding additional photos to my file photos03, when I came across the message "Database engine fail" (not sure of the exact wording). I presume that means a corrupted file So I've gone back and copied a backup file, and wrote a small program to compare both files and add (the additional) records from the problem file to the backup file. As in select 1, fields to memory, select 2, and copy memory items to appended records. Then I realised that I do not know how to copy the binary field that way . Any suggestions? Regards Roy Price
