Hi Rodd,

VFP usually returns an error when an Image object receives a corrupt image file.

So, you can use a simple TRY/CATCH and trap an error.

You can also try using LOADPICTURE()

TRY 
   xObj_Picture = LOADPICTURE(xCaminho_jpg) 
   WAIT WINDOW 'IMAGE IS OK' 
CATCH    
   WAIT WINDOW 'ERROR LOADING IMAGE !' 
ENDTRY

Calvin Hsia also provides some suggestions on this respect:

Hope this helps

>I'm trying to determine if the image that I assign to the Picture value of an image control is actually being displayed. In other words, if the user selects a corrupt image file to be displayed on the form in my image control, it won't be displayed. I want to be able to trap that and provide some feedback to the user so they don't think the form isn't working.

>As far as I can tell, the image control provides no feedback regarding invalid files ... it just doesn't display the picture. I'm already checking the extension and looking at the first 4 characters of the file to try to determine if they've selected a true image file. But none of this protects against corrupted image files.
