You know what.. you both were correct.. You were right about missing images... I had the path correct but... I did a dumb thing.. I introduced a new item in the database that weren't of the type "restuarant" or "bar" so I think it threw the error trying because I didn't have an icon for the new entry... so it considered it blank (I think... ). When i removed the entry from the database, I no longer had the error and the customIcons loaded up just fine. "Woo Hoo"!!
Now with the code you just sent, i think it will handle blanks and continue to process. I can't thank you guys enough for all of the support that you have provided. Now i can move forward with my development.. You guys are great!! David G.
