Thanks, that works. You're right, I've got something else in mind here. The image object in VFP 8 doesn't do nearly as nice of job displaying/scaling images as VFP 9's image control. So, I thought if I could leverage some of the FFC class code in VFP 8 I could fix my rendering problem. It works beautifully (I basically just lifted some code from a few methods in the FFC class to get this to work).

Thanks again,
