And may be you don't know (at least it not mentioned in documentation) that VFP picture object, used with LoadPicture() and SavePicture(), in fact is well known for VB developers StdPicture object and has such properties as Type, Handle, Height and Width.

Interesting infomation, Alexander. After playing around with the picture object in VFP 7.0, I found all the properties. Intellisense is wonderful with these things.

I also had figured out (or rather presumed) that SavePicture actually maps to the undocumented OleSavePictureFile() function. This information seems to be confirmed by the Dependency Walker.
