Hi Aaron

Just a very quick thought about your problem. Is the API returning the string as a byte array? I have been wrestling with something similar with a dll form Polar software.

Cheers

I developed an application 3 years ago using the ShipAPI which used a GIF shipping label format but the new version of the API uses the PNG format. I can get the transaction to work in VB with the reply string that is returned from FedExAPITransaction() but I can't get it to work in VFP7. I think it has something to do with how VFP handles binary data because I can duplicate the problem in VB if I store the binary data to a textbox when it is returned and use the string contained in Textbox.Text when calling SaveLabelToFile().
