>>>Of course, in VFP6 no way to call Release() directly. So we need to find a function for releasing of object. I wanted to play with ReleaseStgMedium() and *pUnkForRelease member in STGMEDIUM structure. I found also a function (forgot it's name), which requires another interface, but calls Release() in all cases, even when a passed interface of wrong type. But I haven't tryed it so far.

I thought of this. Allocate heap space for the picture, then destroy the heap. How about that?
