Thank you for your reply.

I guess that I didn't explain myself very well.
The .TargetFileName (Tif file) is produced each time.
There is a logo reference on the report frx that renders when executed from the command prompt, but does not render when the report is run from the com object. I've tried bmp, jpg, and gif... always with a full unc path. I've tried creating an image object and setting its PictureVal from a blob field. It always renders into the Tif output if I'm running from the command window, but as yet, never from the VFP9 com object (which needs to accessable from a service running in the background).

Thanks,
Frank
