Years ago I used a 3rd party tool called Espia to print JPGs in VFP 5. I'm not sure whether that product is still around but it's worth a search.

>The report uses several JPG images.

>I don't see any way to re-do the report in VFP5 unless I use BMP versions of the JPG images.... and that does "work", however the resulting file is 4-5 times larger than the VFP6/JPG version for the same data.

>Is there any way to get the VFP5 version smaller?...perferably around the same size as the VFP6/JPG version
>
>btw - when I'm talking size... we turn the result into a PDF, which we email to clients.
>The VFP6/JPG version produces PDF files about 250K in size.
>The VFP5/BMP version produces PDF files about 1350K in size.
>The difference seems to be the difference in the size of the images.
>
>The main image is about 800K for the BMP and 17K for the JPG.
>This image is a photo and I can't reduce the colors in the BMP without the image looking lousy.
>
>Any ideas???
