There must certainly several bmp formats around, even if they are all called "Windows Bitmap" and that could be the cause of some complaints about symbols not being recognized by MI even if all the specs are closely satisfied.
My hint comes from using 2 programs to generate symbols, specifically LView Pro and Icon Editor, one commercial and the other shareware. I have no problems with LView, but with Icon Editor, if I save the design as BMP bitmap, MI does not recognize it. And if I look at the contents of the 2 bmp, it is obvious that they do not have the same contents even if the design is exactly the same. I would apprciate confirmation that there are indeed several bmp formats and that MI does not recognize all of them.
