Hi Colin,

>I need to be able to resize a JPG file from a VFP6 app? I presume I have to do this by calling 3rd pary software - if so what software would you recommend?

If you also have VFP 9, you can use the gdiplus foundation classes. I haven't checked how much of the code needs to be changed for VFP 6. If it's too much, you can still create a COM server in VFP 9 and deploy it with your application. Here's the code to resize an image:

* Initalize GDI+
Set CLASSLIB to "_Gdiplus.vcx" Additive

* Load the original image
Local loFile
loFile = CreateObject("gpBitmap")
loFile.CreateFromFile("delete.bmp")

* new bitmap 3 times as large (scale factor 200%)
Local loBitmap
loBitmap = CreateObject("gpBitmap")
loBitmap.Create(loFile.ImageWidth*3,loFile.ImageHeight*3)

* insert the scaled image into the new bitmap
Local loGP
loGP = CreateObject("gpGraphics")
loGP.CreateFromImage( m.loBitmap )
loGP.DrawImageScaled( m.loFile, 0,0,loFile.ImageWidth*3,loFile.ImageHeight*3 )

* Save as JPG.
loBitmap.SaveToFile("test.jpg","image/jpeg")
