_Screen.Image

When an Image object is added to the _screen to show some picture or graphic
and a user later runs a report in Preview mode, periodically the image
object on the _screen, continues to show the report preview image even after
the report preview has been released. It is as if the graphic image from
the report preview window, overlays, changes or corrupts the PICTURE of the
IMAGE object on the _screen.

Has anyone else seen this behavior/bug, and if so, any ideas what causes it
or how to fix it short of destroying the _screen.image object and re-adding
it to _screen?

Thx

Hi Alec

Did you try _screen.Refresh( ) after the report completes?

Hi "turiya36"

Thanks for the suggestion. No I had not tried that. I had considered
calling
a refresh of the Image object but there is no refresh method. Not sure if a
_screen refresh() will have any effect on a contained object that has no
refresh method(?) but it is worth a try. The downside is that the report
could be run while the user has lots of other forms open. Since all those
forms would be "in screen" as being in the container object _screen, calling
a refresh() at the _screen level could have a large ripple effect though all
the objects in the _screen.....

Actually I, myself, have never seen this happen but about 5 or 6 of my
customers in different parts of the country report the same issue. I was
hoping that it might sound familliar to someone.

Hi Anders,

Is it safe to say based on your definite response that this circumstance is
something you are familliar with or have seen before?
