>My office is in Central VFP <lol>. Normally I am working in the office but also/sometimes like to do things from home. I used to completely work from home but if You want to work together with people it's nicer to have them not walking through Your sleeping room. Also I found it hard to separate business- from private-life.

I also like a job like this, because I can do more research at home. Oh, don't run too far from home. I'm afraid you need to take a cab to get back <lol>

BTW, here is the code for creating the bitmap:

#Define c0             chr(0)
#Define w0             c0+c0
#Define dw0            w0+w0

#Define BMPINFO_Size   40
#Define RGBQUAD_Size   4

ls_BitmapInfo = CreateBmpInfoStruct( lh_Bitmap )
CreateBitmapFile( tc_Filename, ln_Height, ls_BitmapInfo, lh_Bitmap, lh_DestDC )
