I am suddenly having a strange problem I have not had before...

When I run the following code to create a temporary background image for printing RGB colors on reports....

		nFileHandle = FCREATE('color.bmp')

		FWRITE(nFileHandle,CHR(66)+CHR(77)+CHR(60)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(54)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(40)+CHR(00);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(01)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(01)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(01);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(24)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(98)+CHR(05)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(98);
			+CHR(05)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00);
			+CHR(IntColor.Blue)+CHR(IntColor.Green)+CHR(IntColor.Red);
			+CHR(00)+CHR(00)+CHR(00))

		FCLOSE(nFileHandle)
		APPEND GENERAL RGBPict FROM COLOR.BMP

The line APPEND GENERAL hangs the application.
IF I kill the program then try to open the file in PhotoShop the program also hangs...
If I open it in mspaint it looks fine...

The code has in the past worked perfectly...

An ideas...
