I used the Image control to create a slide viewer program I use for viewing my digital camera photos. It supports, tif, gif, jpg, bmp. However, the tiff format is referred to as a "loose" format. That is there are many variations of tiff and programs that deal with tiff usually do not support them all. You may have a format that is not supported or the file may be corrupt. In my slide viewer program, a have gotten such an error on some edited photos because the editing program changed the format a little, but generally the Image control works for most images. Ed
