Hi Audrey,

As per all the previous mails, you need to change to Direct Download to fix this as it looks like SP isn't going to fix the Active X......well not soon anyway.

Go into your MY DETAILS and scroll down to the very bottom then change to Direct Download. You'll then be able to see the images immediately.

Cheers

I keep changing my application to see if it will "fix" which it does for a time & then back to the same old problem.
Now what I know about computers you could write on a postage stamp but when it si on DirectDownload I can't copy Extracts to paper.It comes up as printing but the page is blank-what am I doing wrong?It worked before & I was happy with that but that is why I changed my application & am having so much trouble!

Joette,

If you use direct download, once you are viewing the image, click on FILE, then edit with paint. This will then open your file in PAINT then just save as a TIF file as normal.

Cheers

Hello Audrey:

Thanks for the info....I have been trying for ages to try and view some records..I have lost a lot of credits also..I am not impressed with SP at all. Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion of using Paint to edit..I must be thick..because it didn't work for me....Any other suggestions.

Thanks
Shirley
