It works by using LoadPicture for local pictures, and I have written a small Function called LoadRemotePicture which works the same as loadpicture e.g. Set Picture1.picture = LoadRemotePicture('http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif') Lee Lee Hughes Attached File           There are 1 private replies to/from LeeHughes.
