   Two things: set AutoRedraw to True, and then save the Image, not the Picture:   
      
   Private Sub Command1_Click()   
       Picture1.AutoRedraw = True   
       Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Windows\Zapotec.bmp")   
       Picture1.Print "nice picture"   
       Call SavePicture(Picture1.Image, "C:\Windows\ZapotecPlus.bmp")   
   End Sub
