Pipes, I'm not too sure how you mean, but it is possible to pass the numbers of each to a function if you wish.

I think you could pass a memblock that is the bitmap, but i could be wrong

bitmaps images and sprites can be thought of as global, just alter them inside the function, the changes are visible throughout the program, if you want to make two versions or more of an image then you need to make new images etc to hold the differing bitmaps.

Hey thanks for the info. After messing around with DBpro for awhile I see where bitmaps etc, are global. My real problem is defining a bitmap inside a UDT then passing and returning the UDT. Which after some frustration and scouring the forums, I was disappointed to learn that passing and returning UDTs is not possible. Now I have to rethink my whole idea of creating a GUI for DB programs. It seems DBPro is lacking some core functionality that most other programming languages provide. Bummer dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh well... Oh hell. Thanks for responding to my question.
