I have a major 16 bit app that prints (Form.Print()) scanned tax returns
with entryfields laid on top with values programatically. I cannot even
convert to Vdb7 because the image cannot be sized as it is in the 16 bit
version... I have tried all sizing options to no avail.  Can't get my app to
work in VDB7 because of this problem. From my point of view this is a major
problem with Vdb7.
