Cor,.. I went to Bobs site as you suggested. His example under imaging is
very close to what I want so I entered his code and tried it (the code
listiong is below). However, the code would not compile. I get the following
error messages..

error 1
C:\_p\TifDisplayProject\TifDisplayProject\Form1.vb(18): Method 'New' has
multiple definitions with identical signatures.

error2
'Sub Main' was not found in 'TifDisplayProject.Form1'.

Also, he is doing a few tricks I don't understand. For example the code..

<STAThread()> _
Shared Sub Main
Application.Run(New Form1())
End Sub

Why is he doing this??

If I can get this example to work, I think I will be OK.

I appreciate your help.

Hamil.
