11 x 102 - yeah I'd say it could be. Or it's having trouble grabbing from an "offscreen" location. Got to be one of the two

Thanks, I'm pretty sure it is just the powers of two bug because I was grabbing the image off a bitmap. I'm going to try it using the powers of 2 later tonight when i get home.

Okay, I made my bitmap 1024X64 and it still give me the error:

Runtime Error 1003 Could Not Load Bitmap at Line 25

I am absolutely postive I have the bitmap in the same directory and the source code file. Is there something i need to do in DBPRO that is different than the original DB?

The dimensions are fine - have you created a proper project for this? (and not tried to simply edit a source file on it's own) and have the file in the project directory? Also what file format is the image? You're welcome to email me the image (and code) for me to have a look at if you want - rich@darkbasic.com

Cheers,

Rich
