Hi

Try something like this…

Item.GET(“No.”)
CALCFIELDS(Image);

IF EXISTS (‘C:\NavisionDB\BMPs’+Item.“Brand Code”+’.BMP’) THEN //This where the JPEG file exist
Image.IMPORT(‘C:\NavisionDB\BMPs’+Item.“Brand Code”+’.BMP’,FALSE);

Regards

Are you planning to view these JPG’s or are they just for storage?

Hello

You can quite easily create an Import/export function that import any kind of file into a blob-field in the database. The only restriction is the 2gig blob-field size.

Unfortunately it is not possible to view JPGs directly in NAV, you have to write a Wrapper in order to do that. Use google or bing to see if it does not already exist.
