Terry,
1. I always make a define at the top of my module like this:
Define FILE_DLL_ICONS ApplicationDirectory$() & "MYAPP.DLL"
When I create a button that should use an icon from this dll, I refer to the
constant:
Create ButtonPad "MYAPP" As
PushButton
Icon 11 File FILE_DLL_ICONS
...
2. The bitmaps should be 18*16 and 26*24 , so that explains the error you are
getting now.
3. Sorry for being unclear here. The small bitmaps should have odd numbers and
the large bitmaps should have even numbers, and you should always refer to the
odd numbers in your code.

Subject: RE: MI-L Unable to load external icon resource file
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.
Best regards
Terry

Terry,
A few things to try out:
1. 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
