To recover the object use the Bin2var function. You can also store and recover arrays and other complex data the same way.

First you must use FOX binary memo because dBase DBF memos are assumed
to be text and put additional characters into the data notably  ctrl-Z

Second you load the image to a bitmap object then you can save the
object to the binary memo field by first converting it to binary vi
Var2bin() function. To recover the object use the Bin2var function.

You can also store and recover arrays and other complex data the same way.
