Mike,
This worked great! But I ran into an issue with releasing the idiviual tiff files. The problem is after I call the procedure "CreateFromFile(lcSource" the program is keeping lcSource open and I don't have the capablity to delete the file. Any help would be great..

>>Here is how I'm creating the individual tiff images with compression 4. Now I need to take these individual tiff images and append them into a multi-page tiff image, with compression 4. I'm trying to append the images together with the code below but that isn't working. Maybe there is an easier way to do this and any help would be appreciated...

>>>Pass the through Cesar's monochrome function, it is possible they are not 100% monochrome, which would alter the compression level to accomodate the shades of gray.

Below is my code '1.tif' and '2.tif' they are both compression 4 tiff files but when I combine them with the code below, I'm getting my multi-page tiff file but it is in the LZW compression and I need the compression 4 format. Any help would be appreciated.
