The release notes for 5.5.3fc1 don't say whether this is supposed to
have been fixed but it gives a slightly different error message to that with RB5.5.2 (report airbfjga), so I have reported it again (ynadvevx).

I have an idea for a work-around on this one.
Have your DB app import a pic by simply copying it into a folder next to your DB. Then when your DB retrieves the picture, it will do so through the FolderItem and the OpenAsPicture commands by taking the filename data saved
as a String to your DB and then requesting the file with that name.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm hoping to be able to get rapid display of thumbnail images from a group of images selected from the database and this method might be a bit slow. I'll probably wait to see how 5.5.3 ends up.
