This is my first attempt at a serious Euphoria program, but I've managed to get up to the very last point of what I want to do and somethings wrong. What I'm trying to do is get some status information from my computer, turn it into an image, and finally, upload that image to my website. I'm turning the text into an image by trying to take a snapshot of a small portion of my window if it has updated, checking every second with an onTimer event. This works fine. No errors come up and I've checked to make sure that what is supposed to be happening is actually happening. But sometimes, and I can't get it to reliably reproduce, the .bmp I'm trying to save somes out corrupted. I haven't added the upload code yet, I'm referring to the .bmp produced by copyToBitmapFile. My question is: Is there any problems I might not be aware about with using copyToBitmapFile, or is it likely some error in my code? I am only trying to write the image every few minutes, the status doesn't change much, and I have tried deleting the old file before updating, renaming it, etc. If anyone could shed any light on this (or another way I could aproach it) I would be so SO appreciative! -=Cassidy=-
