There I transcribe the information I took from MSDN about the 50003 error
(concerning GIF files)
FIX: "Unexpected Error" Message When Loading a GIF
Last reviewed: October 16, 1998
Article ID: Q194414
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for
Windows, version 5.0
SYMPTOMS
Loading a GIF file that does not specifically contain an Image Object into
Visual Basic 5.0 (for example, through the PictureBox control), generates the
run-time error 50003:
"Unexpected Error"
CAUSE
Visual Basic 5.0 does not support GIFs that include images that are contained
within Application Blocks. The Image Object must be included in the GIF as a
separate Image Object.
RESOLUTION
Use one of the following methods to work around this problem:
Use Error Handling to trap for and handle appropriately error 50003 (unexpected
error) in your Visual Basic application. For more information, search for the
Help topic "Designing an Error Handler" in the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Online
Documentation.
Ensure that images contained within a GIF file are included specifically as
Image Objects and not contained within Application Blocks.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual Basic version
6.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
It is important to note that this error is somewhat of a "catch-all" error that
can be generated under other circumstances completely unrelated to the use of
GIF files. The purpose of this article is to provide details regarding one
particular set of circumstances where this error may arise.
As mentioned in the "Cause" section of this article, Visual Basic 5.0 does not
support GIFs that include images which are contained within Application Blocks.
The Image Object must be included in the GIF as a separate Image Object. This
functionality currently exists in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 as well as
Visual Basic 6.0.
