My picture becomes distorted on a form or report when I size it.

To keep a picture's proportions when you size it, use the PictureSizeMode property (for background pictures) or the SizeMode property (for bound object frames, unbound object frames, and image controls). If the picture is a bitmap, it's best to use the Zoom setting rather than the Stretch setting. You should also consider using a metafile rather than a bitmap since you can size metafiles without causing distortions. For information on using metafiles rather than bitmaps, click .
