       Thank you for your help, but I've tried this and it doesn't work.  I'm   
   using a picturebox as a canvas on which to draw.  I'm loading a blank   
   bitmap, test.bmp, and then drawing on the picturebox (e.g..   
   frm_crysalis.picmain.Circle (-0.25, 0), 1).  I'm trying to add a save as   
   routine to save the modified image, Here is the simple test code that I've   
   written to do this, but it doesn't work (oh yeah, my Autoredraw property is   
   set to true).   
      
   Private Sub mnu_save_Click()   
       CommonDialog1.Filter = "Pictures (*.bmp)|*.bmp"   
       CommonDialog1.ShowSave   
       SavePicture Image, "d:\my documents\vb6\TEST.BMP"   
   End Sub   
      
   Could the problem be that I'm drawing on the picturebox, not the blank   
   bitmap test.bmp?  I've tried not loading the blank bitmap, but then the   
   image saved is blank as well.  This one really has me baffled.  Any ideas   
   will be greatly appreciated.
