Put a little wait in your code to make sure the file is completed...

WAIT WIND 'Printing' Timeout 2

>Help:
>I've written a EXE called PrintScreen.exe in Delphi 5. This VFP program file is invoked by Shift-F5 combination from within my VFP 6.0 sp5 app. Compiled as an EXE, but run as do MRM in the command window, everything works as expected. When I run MRM.exe from Windows 2000, the PrintScreen.exe app, generates an error "Cannot open file 56347638.bmp". I'm using Steve Ruhl's ScrnPrint utilities from the files section and Ed Rauh's API_AppRun utility.

>I'm guessing that the BMP files isn't quite closed when PrintScreen tries to load it. After the error message, I can dbl-click on it on the HD and my Futuris Imager app, loads it just fine.
