Hi Michel,

I don't fully understand you hint. I attempted to use SYS(2007) with a nFlags =1 (for CRC32) and passed cExpression as filetostr(path to photos) and it still says that the images are different although I only opened one in paint and saved it without actually making a change.

Did I do what you'd expected and if not, where did I go wrong?

Thanks for any assistance
Mike
