In fact, this snippet of code might be of some use for when you first open your image file... strLocation = "Your File Location" Dim objFileStream As New FileStream(strLocation, FileMode.Open) mobjImage = Image.FromStream(objFileStream) objFileStream.Close()

The reason you have this problem is because the file you are trying to overwrite is "already in use". If you find a way to make the file no longer in use, please let me know. Nick
