Hi Frank,

The only one interesting thing I discover so far. If I copy the icons2bmpfile method from the new class to the old one than there'c no error accessing loLarge.Handle.

>The method to check in IconBuddy is Icons2BMPFile. this is the high-level method that is supposed to do an all--in-one-line-job. It now works with the workaround but I have a small paragraph in it tha accesses the the handle via the YouWouldNotBelieveThis-Class witch comes from TEST_SAVE4.PRG and directly. I have a TRY...CATCH around it so nothing can happen.
