Thank you all for your opinions/advice.
I am happy to NOT store data in the General field, since the data is already saved in DOC format, which is unique to each invoice. ("INV"+alltrim(str(invnum))+".DOC"
My remaining issue though, is there some way I can print a report with the DOC file details.? (In much the same way as printing a report with a JPG file, or otherwise)

So I have used this approach for 20 years and it has always worked My client prepares an invoice using Word The file is "INV"+alltrim(str(invnum))+".DOC" E.g. INV12345.DOC
Not a solution to your problem, but you might try transform(invnum)instead of the alltrim(str()).
No, No, No ... General fields are the work of the devil.... bloated memo
files, VFP table size restrictions, links that get mysteriously corrupted, slow as hell etc.
One advantage of general fields is that the short form of the keywordis my first name.
