As somebody already pointed out to you, the iconP member is not populated by the call to SysCreateDataBaseList. You will have to find the resource for the application icon yourself. As I've already said (except you've chaged the name of the thread since then!) But here's what I suggested... I'd suggest writing a function that you pass the creator id, the function will need to open the application database and find a resource of type 'tAIB' with an ID of 1000. If it doesn't find it in the 'appl' database, search for an 'ovly' database with the same creator ID and it will most likely be in there. The function will return a bitmap pointer which you then draw with WinDrawBitmap. Hope this helps John Sutton

Is it means iconP=dbListIDsP[counter].iconP; not giving the value so some thing esle wrong here. i even try this way win =WinCreateBitmapWindow(iconP,&err); WinSetDrawWindow(win); WinDrawBitmap(iconP,10,10); it has the same problem. So any can tell me where i m wrong.
