I'm using VFP5 and the picture format is JPG so I am using Imagen by Pegasus (since VFP5 does not handle the JPG format). I have added method to my form called UPDATEPHOTO. I have a page frame on my form and sometimes the photo needs to be displayed and sometimes it does not. (The photo is actually on top of the page frame.) Then in the Refresh for the form I have THISFORM.UPDATEPHOTO().

With this as a separate method I can call it from the Init event. The REFRESH Event and I also call it from the ACTIVATE events on the different pages in the page frame (it can then decide if the picture should be displayed or not).

>Actually, I've tried your suggestion and it worked with the following in the refresh event of the form:
> thisform.picCartridge.picture = (thisform.txtPicfile.value)
>
>The only problem is there is no refresh event for the picture so I can't followup the command with: thisform.picCartridge.refresh
>
>So when I go to the next page or a previous page the picture doesn't get updated. Is there another way to refresh a picture?
