I'm having a problem deleteing a GIF that has transparency in it. The repo code is as follows:

_screen.AddObject("imgGIF", "image")
_screen.imgGif.picture = "C:\Transparent.gif"
ERASE "C:\Transparent.gif"

If you select a GIF that has transparent regions in it, the ERASE command will fail with a "file is in use" error. If the GIF does not have transparent regions in it, all is fine.

This code used to work in VFP6 regardless of the GIF. I know VFP 9 now uses GDI+. Is this problem related to GDI+? If so, are there any workarounds or solutions?

TIA
Mike
