Hello,

I am using the following code in a command button.

VB Code:
  1. SavePicture frmMain.Picture2.Image, "C:\Data\" & Format(Now, "hhmmss") & ".bmp"

Now when I click the button I watch my CPU and as it is saving the picture to the file it uses about 50% of my CPU. This is saving a picturebox that is about the same size as the screen. When the pic is small it doesn't take much CPU. only when it is a big pic. Is there any way to reduce the quality or somthing to make it not use so much CPU?

Thank you and have a great evening.
