Mr. Wood: Thanks a lot, but I don't believe that's a complete description of what's happening, Chris. I initially fed the output of a 'structure member' from the queue into the 'image' port of a 'Billboard' (or tried, I don't remember whether it allowed me to make the connection). Since what I was trying to store in the queue was an 'image' (as in 'output from a string with image'), that is what one should expect upon emptying the queue (I set the queue length to 1 for testing). After that connection didn't work properly, I looked at the queue and saw the string '<QCImage>'. This is what was properly displayed after passing this thru the 'string with image.' My hasty conclusion: Images cannot be stored in QC queues. I would love to be proved wrong on this point. Send me a brief example. Thanks, I'm goin' to see a movie. --aram
