Well, now I get a file but it is not a BMP. I am not sure what it is... :-)

Here is the code I am using:

function TFMain.ExportToBMP(FileName: string): boolean;

var

wmf : TMetaFile;

Width : integer;

Height : integer;

Canvas : TMetaFileCanvas;

begin

// save to BMP

rvEdit.HScrollPos := 0;

rvEdit.VScrollPos := 0;

rvEdit.Deselect;

rvEdit.Invalidate;

Width := rvEdit.RVData.DocumentWidth +

rvEdit.LeftMargin+rvEdit.RightMargin;

Height := rvEdit.RVData.DocumentHeight;

wmf := TMetafile.Create;

wmf.Width := Width;

wmf.Height := Height;

Canvas := TMetaFileCanvas.Create(wmf, 0);

Canvas.Brush.Color := clWindow;

Canvas.FillRect(rect(0, 0, Width, Height));

rvEdit.RVData.PaintTo(Canvas, rect(0,0,500000, 500000));

Canvas.Free;

wmf.SaveToFile(FileName);

Wmf.Free;

Result := true;

end;

Am I just drinking too much coffee & missing the obvious?

Sergey, if you ever get to visit Las Vegas, let me know and I will get you a

nice hotel room. It is the least I can do for all of your help!
