Hi Chet,

I haven't had time to look into the specific problem you are having in detail, but you can find the help file for the imaging controls in your \windows\help\ directory. The filename is Imgocxd.hlp. Just glancing through the help file, I didn't notice any print command for the thumbnail control. I'm guessing it may not be possible to print the thumbnail directly, however you could scale down the imagecontrol and print it from the imageadmin control if I remember correctly. As for the ShowPrinterDialog function that is crashing on you, I think you may get the same functionality (if this is indeed what you're looking for) by using the native VFP function, sys(1037).
