Just before I logged back in, I was "MODI COMM"ing some bmps I made with paint and converting them to "FoxFont" and then chasing suspects with ?ASC(_CLIPTEXT). This was very helpful. Someday, I too, may become a "Master of The Obvious". Thanks a lot!

oBMP = CREATEOBJECT("Image")

>oBMP.Picture = lcbmp

>? oBMP.Width

Another thing of note regarding the API call is that the declaration is case sensitive and the correct declaration would be GetBitmapDimensionEx.
