>Yes...I had tried saving it as a .JPG and the file size was 19k for this particular file. Better than the 1,592K for the 24-bit I had. You're right...it's a lot of work but it looks like it may be the only way for me to go. Unfortunately, the .BMP extension is hardcoded throughout this code as well...yikes. Not exactly the answer I was looking for :-( but I guess we don't always get the answers we hope for...lol. Thanks for your input.
Hetty, for pre-VFP8 get GoFish from the UT download section which will help you find all locations of this hardcoded extention in your project. In VFP8 use the Tool-Code references to find all locations. Both options support global search and replace.
