>If I switch the stretch property of an image from the default 0 to 1 or 2 at runtime, nothing happens to the image. I've tried re-setting the image visible and picture properties and refreshing the form. If the form atarts life with stretch set to 1, a runtime switch to 0 does work. Any clues?

Denis,
Save and restore height, width :

with ThisForm.myImage
 lnHeight = .Height
 lnWidth = .Width
 .Stretch = lnNewValue
 .Height = lnHeight
 .Width = lnWidth
endwith
