Ron,

You're welcome. Actually, I think Mike's solution (with the image control) is more efficient. However, it appeared from an earlier post to Nigel that you didn't want to use that for some reason. At any rate...

Bitmap sizes are stored by Windows in pixels. However, part of the requirements for a bitmap is that the X and Y pels per meter are stored in the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure. If that information is helpful it can be retrieved using a similar technique to the one I mentioned in my post. The difference would be that you would convert the X co-ordinate pels per meter (horizontal) beginning at offset 39 (StringToInteger(SUBSTR(lcbitmap, 39, 4))) and the Y pels (vertical) beginning at 43.
