Hello colleagues,
I am unable to tell from the documentation whether HLinkMemo() stores only the path to an image file or the actual bits. I am concerned that if only the path is stored there will be problems when someone deletes the image file from disk and my program tries to reference it. Any information? Thanks.

Hello Brian!

No Files are linked or referenced (supposed you mean hat). The files (content)
are copied directly into the database. Not even the filename is stored. You
have to track the filename in a seperate Database Field.

That means: Only the binary source is stored! The database is increased in
size, and the content exist physically in the database and the user can delete
the original file. You can store ANYTHING with that command. Any file with
ANY content. i.e. *.pdf, *.exe, *.zip and so on.. (hMemoBin) or any Image
Type (hMemoImg).

yours,
Alex
