Hi Mike

Thanks! As always you are right on the money!
It works great - on XP
I does not work for me on my brand new Dell Precision M90 with Vista Ultimate and 4GB of memory!!

it creates the object alright but when assigning the image it give a ole error. It seems to think the tif file is corrupted
The same files work fine on the inspiron 1705 with XP -sp2

Any ideas?

Peter
