Hi Tore, I think that is no possible in VFP9. You must enter in the controlsource the name of the *bmp and if the file do not exists it returns error. I have to find another way to do this

>It's been a long time since I did this myself, so I am not quite sure if you can do it this way, but I see no reason why not. Another solution is to have two shapes on top of each other, one with a 'Print when File(file1.bmp)', and the other 'Print when .not. File(file1.bmp)'.
