Yes. I did get an answer from someone on the TabletPC Newsgroup (Microsoft).

The problem is a lot more detailed, you can't retrieve the ink into an existing object. So you have to recreate the object. But here's the rub, you can't create a new object with the same name on the same form. So you have to come up with a new object name each time. (I used sys(2015) to help create an object name that was guaranteed to be new.

It was a lot of fun, and I got it working if you want more info, give me a yell.

>Hi Bob.
>I noticed that you posted your query a month ago. I'm running into the same error. And, I've expanded my requirements to save to a BMP or JPG instead of a ISF. I've combed the internet and have concluded that this problem has got to be a simple syntax error. Did you ever find any documentation that helped?
