>I have given users an ability to edit an image that is being used in the backround of a form. E.g. They can draw a table plan for a restaurant for a table tracking system. However, the image does not change until I shut down the application and restart. I have noticed this before if I was editing the images used in the backround picture of a form. Is there any way around this so that the image refreshes. I have of course used the thisform.refresh method but this does not work

Try

CLEAR RESOURCES <Picture File Name>
