>I have a need to read the contents of a BMP file. I have read the many papers describing the file format that still exist on the web. I am looking for sample code that would help me understand how to handle the bit data from VFP. I currently have a basic set of code using ASC(), but there are algorithms that I am not getting right in order to read the data section of the file.

You might want to look at my Obj2Bmp file in the download section for some information. See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/bitmaps_4v1h.asp for a discussion on the structure.
