------------------------
hi Al -
holy cow !!! i didn't realized images were cached like that !!
that issue sure sounds it has promise in solving my problem.
not only that problem, but another mystery too.
thanks much for the idea.
------------------------------
for CLEAR RESOURCES, the help contains the following statement:
"When Visual FoxPro DISPLAYS a bitmap, picture, cursor, icon, or font resource, the resource is cached to optimized performance...."
would you say that having an image included in a report constitutes
"DISPLAYS". ??
-------------------------------
on the part of my project that captures these images, i'm sure gonna
try doing a CLEAR RESOURCES. every once in a while i get a message
"...running low on resources..."
i assume there is a limited amount of memory used for cache ?
is it possible that Windows is mishandling that cache? or FoxPro ?
------------------------------------------------------------
thanks again,
patrick
