Nihat Azi #1 / 5	Load a picture in a picture control I am kind of confused. I tried to do that by setting the picture property of a picture object to app.path+"\pic1.jpg" but I get the error "Type mismatch". What am I doing wrong ?

You're probably missing out the LoadPicture keyword. Try: Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path + "\pic1.jpg") Mike

The logic here is that the picture property refers to an OLE object, not to a string. It's confusing because the design time property window accepts the string to point to the file location. Although I'm not an expert myself, I think it is advisable for not to fresh newbie's to try to explore the object browser. You'll see how things are composed. Bas.

When you select a picture at design time VB automatically loads the picture, it is later saved in the form's .frx file.
