Can't Change the Size of an Image on an Angle

[Ray]

Paul,

This looks very promising.  I'll study this some more tonight and let 
you know how it turns out.

Thanks,

Ray

If I set the lockLoc to false I can set the angle to a number of degrees without it getting reduced in size, but then I can't set the width and height.  The other way around (if I set the lockLoc to true) I can then change the width and height after setting the angle, but setting the angle forces a reduction in the size of the image to fit the 'bounding rect' of the image.
