The +t+ is the problem, it's not a string.
If 't' is holding a variable, such as an ID number, and you want it to be part of the string, you need to convert it to a string, which is relatively easy...

Just change the line to;

destfile$=mapname$+"Images"+Str$(t)+".png"

And you'll be right.

Hope I Helped...
Jess.

I thought anything added to a string was automatically casted?

Nope, that only works for integers to floats and vice-versa.

For strings, you have to declare them as a string ( ie, add the $ at the end of the variable ) or use the Str$() function to convert it to a string if it is already holding a number.
