Thanks Dean, I had tried that before. But I went back to try again. Hey both boxes were not checked....maybe...Ah! It worked! You are sooo smart. Thank you. I had about given up hope of ever having this picture so I could print or display. Ready for another question? On some attached files on attempting to open I get this message; Could not open (FileName).jpg because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. Any suggestions??
