(Sorry if I double post, I'm not sure if the last one worked, and 56k is too slow to worry about others =) Ok with this code: Dim NewSurfaceDesc as DDSURFACEDESC2 MySurface.GetSurfaceDesc NewSurfaceDesc Set MySurface = Nothing Set MySurface = Ddraw.CreateSurfaceFromFile(NewBMP,NewSurfaceDesc) When that is run, the line: ...GetSurfaceDesc NewSurfaceDesc will do what? I'm assuming it will clear the surface, am I right? I'm curious. Can you skip the line so the code just reads: Set MySurface = Nothing Set MySurface = Ddraw.CreateSurfaceFromFile(NewBMP,NewSurfaceDesc) Or would that stuff up. Someone smart? (Well, you probably don't need to be too smart to know this, but it's over my head being a ddraw newbie =) thanks
