>Nothing described above will work. It seems that whenever you display an image, Foxpro will load the image into the memory. If you display an image next time, Foxpro will look up the file name to see if it has been loaded. If it finds it (only the filename), Foxpro only use the image data in the memory!!!

Yes I had this problem with Image control and used the following way to go around: 1. Generate unique temp file name with SYS(3)
2. Use this file name (you can copy bmp into it) as Picture property.
