Hi Jeff,

Just to show off the value of the code in "the Book", one of the demos
uses exactly the code snippet you need. Staz did the original and Andy
Pritchard modified it and I am using it in "the Book".

myPicture& = GETPICTURE(pictID%)
itsHeight% = myPicture&..picFrame.bottom% - myPicture&..picFrame.top%
itsWidth% = myPicture&..picFrame.right% - myPicture&..picFrame.left%

This gives you the picture's size.

HTH,

Joe Wilkins
