No, Brad had it right; the ampersand should be there.

The rest of the program isn't here so I can't be sure, but I think the problem
was that the DrawPicture() command used was something like:

	DrawPicture(&picH);

when it should have been:

	DrawPicture(picH);

The actual handle needs to be passed, not a pointer to it.
