.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png

and stuff it directly into a VFP Image Object so I don't have to save to file then read the file? I thought I had done this once but it was some time back.

Hugo, It Works!! thanks a million.

You don't know how to clear out the value do you? The 2nd time I run the procedure It returns the image from the first run. It did that when I was saving to file also.
