How to import or insert a *.jpg file into a binary memo field 2

[german12]

I have a dbf-file MyPhoto.dbf
with two fields:

MyPicturename = c(200)
MyPicture = memo binary

The picture I would like to have inserted in MyPhoto.dbf is this one with its location:
"F:\Bilder\DCIM\Möve.jpg"

How is the correct insert command to have Myphoto.dbf populated with

the filename "F:\Bilder\DCIM\Möve.jpg" in FIELD Mypicturename
the image in FIELD MyPicture.


My system is VFP 9.0 SP2

Thank you for help

he - as I found in a very old document - traced the family tree of my oldest brother back to an ancestor who was born in 1632!
All written manually in old german script

That's fascinating, Klaus. Thanks for showing us the old documents. I doubt there are many people in the world who can trace their family history back to the 17th Century.

Mike, thanks for your reply.
The problem:
Because of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), it is not possible for many genealogists to look at church records, all of which were destroyed at that time.

I've got the name of at least one ancestor probably born in the 17th century (though I don't have exact dates, his grandson--my 5th great-grandfather--was born in 1740, so ...). My first ancestor to come to the New World (a 4th great grandfather) landed around 1759. That's all on my father's father's side.

On his mother's side, I have a family tree that goes back as much as 6 generations from her (though with no dates) and has this most intriguing note: "The Safras and Steinbergs came to Russia before the Slavs." A look-up suggests that's 1000 years or so.

Amazingly, even on my mother's side (she was a WWII refugee), I've got names going back to the 18th century.

I'm incredibly lucky because thanks to my "packrat" grandparents, I have photos of at least three sets of my 2x-great-grandparents.

That's very interesting, Tamar.

I just read that the meaning of the name Steinberg is: Icelandic variant form of Steinbergur
Steinberg says:
The name Steinberg often comes from the Posen area (today Poznan / PL). Quite a few got stuck while emigrating to Hamburg, many emigrated to the USA

Does that also apply to your ancestors?

My grandfather wrote the family tree listed above in 1941.
(that's when I was born).
It was 4 years before the end of World War II - and I think he did not do it voluntarily, but rather the Nazis under Hitler required proof of "Aryan origin" (total idiocy) from every German citizen, but they demanded it, to find out if someone had Jewish blood in their veins.
Today neo-Nazis can be found in Germany as well as in the USA.
Stupidity does not die out.
My grandfather was a Social Democrat - he was "honorably" discharged from civil service - a National Socialist was then put in his place.

That document says officials and political leaders were required to fill out this form - dating back at least as far as the 18th century - and not just for themselves but for their wives as well.

Incredible!

I don't know anything about these Steinberg ancestors, except what's in the family tree that I mentioned. That's not a name that came down to recent generations. My grandmother's great-grandmother was born a Steinberg. My grandmother was born in 1907; assuming an average of 25 years per generation, her great-grandmother would have been born around 1830. My grandmother was born in a town called Khryzopol (sp?) in what's now Ukraine.

Anyway, there are tons of Jewish Steinbergs around. I've known lots of them, but haven't ever dug into the origins on the name.

I'm very fortunate because lots of other people have done the digging into my genealogy and passed the info along. I'm not sure of the source of this family tree, but since it's typed, I strongly suspect one of my grandparents did it. (They typed everything they could and kept carbons.)

It's on my "to do" list to try to dig deeper into these folks and try to find out who they were. Even more so that it had been because my best friend and my sister both had DNA done and it says they're related, so I'd love to find the connection.

Yes Tamar, genealogy - that is definitely a nice second occupation next to the interest in programming and VFP:
You could say that this has no place in this forum - but it only needed to be a single thread (and should be restricted on one thread) where each of us
(if he wants to) announce his other interests besides VFP.
That would be astonishing findings.
If you then want to know something about this area of ​​knowledge, then that is definitely not a disadvantage for this good VFP community here.
What do you think?
Or - how do the other people here think about it?

Thanks for your very interesting comments about your view.


Klaus

PS:
Imagine:
That would be great if VFP had already existed in the 16th century.
Then a huge database would have been created to this day.
However, it would be doubtful whether the data medium would then still be readable.
(Small joke)
