Need basic information on Bitmaps and Images.

Hi,

I'm currently working on a routine which calls data from half a dozen Sql tables, produces from one to six drawings on a page, then prints out the result using ScreenCapture. The printing is done on a Hp LaserJet and there is a delay of 15+ seconds from downloading to printer, to getting the print out.

Would it be feasible to save the drawings as Bitmaps in Image files in a Collection, and if so, would the print time be quicker or longer.?

Yes.

and if so, would the print time be quicker or longer.?

My guess it that the latency is with the printer itself. I would not think so.

Thanks ReneeC,

The saving as suggested is a step forward.

The latency, is what I had suspected, the printer, so I guess we will have to suffer that. :(
