try putting your image in a picture box and using the SavePicture call..

SavePicture MyPic.picture, app.path & "\MyPic.bmp"

should work without fail :)

IT works fine in WindowsNT but not Win95/98. I need it to work with Win95/98. Please help :)

Hope this helps.
First set autoredraw to true, then paintdesktop, then form1.refresh, then savepicture.
Sorry if this doesn't help

Also, make sure that you are saving it's Image. There is a difference between the Image property and the Picture property.
