You can create a general field in the VFP table and use append general
to insert it. I have found it much more efficient however to hold the
filename in the table and pass that to the report.

I would really like to have a control that allows the user to browse for an
image and then it will attach either the path\file name or the actual image.
Any ideas?

The function you are after to browse images is getpict()

_fname=GETPICT([cFileExtensions] [, cFileNameCaption] [,
cOpenButtonCaption])
