        For taking screen shots of application windows, GIF is usually better than JPEG.

                  Use PNG. Depending on pallete selection, GIF's can be lossy.

                          Well, if you perform the calculation within the confines of a Messagebox statement, rather than an exception, you will receive the result "infinity" and not "nullity"! Rich :)
