Hi Kevin,

you are not missing anything. The SavePicture statement convert only
jpeg and GIF to bmp, that is not what you want.
To save an image as jpeg, you need an image converter that you
can find in many third party components (I strongly suggest
not to write your own.) I never used any of them, but I read a lot of
advertisements in the magazines I subscribe.
