anyone have a clue how this can be done? or even if it can be done? thanx in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.

open the picture in microsoft paint, go to "file" and in the drop down menu click "Save as" in the save as type box there is an arrow that leads to a drop down menu in which there should be an option that says "JPEG file interchange format (*.jpg)" click on that and that should do it

Or if you're in Photoshop, change it over to a grey scale & then save as a JPEG.

Irfanview can do it as well.

what graphics software opens when you open the bmp?

open it with internet explorer and save as .......blah.jpg

Microsoft Photo Editor will also allow you to save a bitmap as a .jpg. If you are having trouble, email it to me and I'll fix it and email it back.

also, make sure it's the right size and not over the limit for uploading here.
