Don, Thanks so much for sending me the example for printing bitmaps in picture boxes. Once I reasoned through what was happening with StretchBlt, it all made sense. I soon discovered that I could easily adapt this to scaling other picture boxes. What I'm doing now is creating an invisible picture box, with the image stored at printer resolution. Since the images are never more than one inch square, the files aren't too big. Then, in my Wysiwyg picture box, I overlay a second picture box holding the image, reduced in size with the StretchBlt function. When it's print time, I send the larger image to the printer. What I didn't realize until yesterday is that I can use the same stuff to handle scaling the image, letting the user customize the size. What nifty stuff! Sometime next week, I'll upload a sample project which illustrates all this stuff, making things a little easier for beginners. Again, I'm in your debt! George

Don, We use PKUNZIP 1.02. Please note that except for GETDEC, the files are all self-extracting EXE files, not ZIPs. Mark
