Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this...
Yes, the images are color... one is a photo and the others are gradients.

>Are these color images?

>>I have a report, currently in VFP6, which I need to re-do in VFP5.
>>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???
