The Obj2BMP class worked great. Problem solved. Thanks a million.

>>2) Go back to the Visio scenario. However, as this would require anyone using my software to have visio, and this time I really only want to make a sketch drawing, is it possible to automated, say, Paint, in the same way. The advantage is that everyone with Windows has paint, so he needs no special software.
