FoxPro does cache the bitmap to improve performance. Take a look at CLEAR RESOURCES. I know it works in VFP and I think it's available in 2.6 but I don't have a copy handy to check.

>I have a 2.6 app which displays bitmaps. Once the bitmap is displayed, I may want to change the contents of the bitmap using an external program and update the display in foxpro. The problem is that once the bitmap has been displayed using @ ... SAY BITMAP, the file seems to be loaded in memory, and even though I change the file and reissue the command, I don't get the updated picture to display. does anyone know of a way around this?
