hi Clint, what happens is i don't get any errors... it just doesn't change the picture.. at all :S. Clint I am glad u check exe and zip files alike for viruses... but i think it's a good idea as well for the person who is sending that file makes sure they are virus free. :). Ok i'm try up loaded the picture...... uhmmm nuts! nope it just goes back to my home page with the same old image.... sigh maybe it hates my picture! LOL it's in jpg format... and 167 kb. Sigh... thanks clint.
