Can someone help me out? I am new to using DC's and working with pictures, and I am running into a problem. I am trying to select an object to create a dc by doing the following:

Dim DC As Long
Dim Temp As IPictureDisp

DC = CreateCompatibleDC(frmHold.hdc)

Set Temp = frmHold.imgBeginner.Picture

SelectObject DC, Temp

srcDC=DC

DeleteObject Temp
Set Temp = Nothing

Everything works fine up to this point. The DC is created that I want to work with, and I can manipulate the picture just like I want. However, when I go and take a look at my imgBeginner picture, it is wiped out and I can't access it anymore. Why is this?
