George,

I just tried it in the command window and it works great! The syntax is oImage = CreateObject('Image')
oImage.Picture = 'fully qualified path and filename'

just in case anyone else is listening in on this.

Thanks, again, George!

>Actually, this is something you can do in VFP without the API. Just instatiate a picture/image object and add the fully qualified file name as the source. The object has height and width properties you can reference.

While I know that with the image object this works with bmps and icos, but I only think it will work with jpgs as well. IOW, I'm not 100% percent sure working off the top of my head.< g >
