HI Rhonda. I just checked and I never imported any fabric with EQ4. Just reading the directions from EQ5 cookbook. If you notice, I just made a reference to have her send you a PM. Long time no see. Hope all is well and I like your new icon.

I was following the directions in the cookbook, got all the way through the import and got the error. My file was (is) 72 dpi and 160x100px. I thought I could go around the import and just add the file into the library but can't find the actual bmp image files in the system. Thanks for all the info so far!

trivia the reason you are having trouble is because the newer technology does not support the older EQ versions. I have trouble with my EQ5 also.

You do have to have EQ6 to get the upgrade price for EQ7. You can find EQ6 if someone wants to sell theirs.

As for the problem you are having - Does it happen in every file you try to import your fabric into? Have you tried opening a diff file and importing in that file?

I imagine the ladies at EQ will tell you what they told me. Your program is out of date and they can't do anything to help. It is due to the new technology of your computer is not able to connect with certain parts of your program. so you get gaps in what you can do with it. some things just will never work on it. I get alot of notices on 5 that say this is an invalid path. I can't open any new files on my EQ5 so I use one that already exists and just delete what I don't want in it and use it to create new designs. works for me LOL

I do have 23 lessons I wrote if you are interested in them. Most of the lessons are done on my EQ5 with EQ6 and EQ7 pics added in if the lesson is diff for each version.

However this picture importing is not one of the things I covered.

I don't know if I can help but I can try. I've never had EQ4 so don't really know the limitations on it.
