As of version 5.0, a new clause was added to the CLEAR Command. The clause is called RESOURCES.

For example, lets say I have an image on a form that points to a specific BMP file that has changed. If I run the form, I could use this code in the command window to demonstrate how things work.

oldpict = form.image1.picture
form.image1.picture = "" && resource cannot be in use
Clear Resources oldpict
form.image1.picture = oldpict && you should see the changed bitmap






>If I display a .bmp in FoxPro and then change it (rescan w/ different settings) and display it again - FoxPro keeps the old image in memory and will not show the new file.
>
>Short of using new names or restarting FoxPro is there away to flush out the old and redisplay the new image?
