Sure, but its not that much! The code I posted does more than just open a pict - it will scale and center (there a bit more for the centering vectors) vector or bitmap picts into a canvas. I think you were pretty close with your code actually, I was just trying to show you how I was doing it so youd have something to compare to. You can have your users do the copy and resave as bmp bit, of course. With a little work, I bet you could have working the way you want though. As long as all is well... Glad I could help a little, -seanA _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
