  Hi,

  I have create a linkserver to read a vfp file with a photo field, the name and file STRUCTURE of vfp as follows:-

  /*

  ITEMPHOTO TABLE STRUCTURE

  VFP: (ITEM_NO CHAR(10),ITEMPHOTO GENERAL)

  SQL: (ITEM_NO CHAR(10),ITEMPHOTO IMAGE)

  */

  The link server as follows:-

  --EXEC SP_ADDLINKEDSERVER

  -- @SERVER = N'FOX2', -- YOUR LINKED SERVER NAME HERE

  -- @SRVPRODUCT=N'VISUAL FOXPRO 9', -- CAN BE ANYTHING

  -- @PROVIDER=N'VFPOLEDB',

  -- @DATASRC=N'"C:\BTM\123\DATA1.DBC"'

  --EXEC SP_ADDLINKEDSRVLOGIN 'FOX2'

  After the server is created i checked to read the file without the photo field it is he read the file with no error, but with the photo field i have the below error :-

  SELECT item_no,photo FROM OPENQUERY(FOXPRO,'SELECT item_no,photo FROM ITEMPHOTO')

  the error message as follows:-

  Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

  The OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "FOXPRO" reported an error. The provider ran out of memory.

  Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

  Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "FOXPRO".

  best regards

  as you see on my example the link server read the data from visual foxpro tables not a picture file.
