Peter Thanks very much for getting back to me. Your points below:
1. I don't specify any particular path to the resource file. It exists in the same dir as the .MBX. I've got rid of any other copies that may be confusing MI/MB (however, see below). How would I be more specific? 2. My bitmaps are 16 X 16 and 32 X 32 as required, following the rules, as all the other bitmaps in the resource that display OK. HOWEVER, since I got rid of any other copies, the error message has now moved on to: "Bad Height for for bitmap 314. Unable to load external icon resource" And the app crashes out. This is the number of the larger bitmap. I've confirmed (in Paint) that it is indeed 32 X 32. I don't understand the error message. 3. Sorry, I don't understand this at all. How can ALL my bitmaps be named 1 or 2. As you can see from the code, I'd named them from 350 (I've now renamed them 313 & 314 - hence the number in the NEW error message). Having said that you then say: "...2 (even number) for the large bitmap 4. In your code you should always refer to the small bitmap (the odd number) I think in your case the problem is caused by number 4" What's the 4 bit all about? Where and how am I doing anything with 4 - whatever that means? Thank you for your trouble and attention.

I would recommend that you use a more specific path to the dll. Otherwise MapInfo might use a dll from the Windows or MapInfo program folder. 2. Make sure that the size of the bitmaps match the requirement, and that they are in pairs in the dll. 3. The bitmaps should be "named" 1 (odd number) for the small bitmap and 2 (even number) for the large bitmap 4. In your code you should always refer to the small bitmap (the odd number) I think in your case the problem is caused by number 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 16981
