Yes, you can do it using a table that has a column defined as LONG RAW. Now, how you get your data *into* that field depends upon your environment. But in developer 2000 (forms) you can save the contents of OLE2 container items. You can also use the image manipulation built-ins to load binary pictures into base table image items that are defined as LONG RAW.
Hope that helps...
