SYMPTOMS
With an embedded bitmap stored in a general field of a table, you cannot see the entire image when you double-click the General field in Browse window.



CAUSE
The General field has a pre-defined viewable height and width range, so no matter how big you try to make the General field window you can see only that predefined viewable range. The range varies depending on your screen resolution; 650x400 pixels are viewable in 1024x768 screen resolution and only 500x290 pixels can be seen if the screen is setup to 800x600 resolution.



RESOLUTION
In order to see the complete picture from the general field, issue a command like "@.. SAY  BMP," or display the bitmap on a form or screen.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a table with a General field. Append a blank record. Issue the following command in the Command window:

APPEND GENERAL  from

 Browse the table.</li> Double-click the General field.</li></ol>

NOTE: The entire image is not displayed.
