Thax for the link. But it works only on XP machine. How can I use on other OS.

Did you read the whole of my comment in that thread? Sure, the Acquisition Automation Library is only vailable for XP, but I also point out that you can do the same thing (although with more difficulty) with GDI+, which is available for all MS operating systems except W95. The download location for the redistributable components is located here (a change from the one given in the thread):

I also provide a link in that self-same thread to a type library that makes using GDI+ somewhat easier from VB. I'll repeat it here:

Additionalluy, there is also a link in that self-same thread to thread222-489226, in which I provide a further link to a free DLL you can use. That link appears to have expired, so I've done the legwork for you and found its homesite:

And finally, thread222-760856 contain my example code on how to convert a BMP to a JPEG using GDI+ and the GDIplus type library
