I've never had this reqiurement myself and thus never actually implemented it, but according to the docs i've read it should be possible with the RDC automation controler (available since 6.0). The RDC controler supports a format event (can be captured with VFP com) in which you'll be able to change location of the picture displayed in the OLE control. I've seen some code on the CR kb (of course written in VB) which actually does this.

However this requirement is a pain to implement and since I never really needed it I did not bother to deepen myself into this issue.

Walter,
