Alastair: I don't believe that I got your message below: ======= > From: "Alastair Burr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 6:09 PM > Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Re: Criteria ForMyUnstablenessWithR:Base6.5++Build > 1.862 ======= Just wanted to make clear that the patch/workaround was for displaying a static picture in a form (background). Within my application I have code that selects a file name (jpeg) from a table and then displays it or opens it within a form or opens it with the default graphics editor (LAUNCH); I can select from over 600 jpeg photos stored in a subdirectory and display them without a problem ... it works very well and I have not had any problems with this part of the application. I only use bmp files for buttons; however, I have notice that when I am doing a lot of editing of the form (during development) after a while, some of the bmp images show as a blank gray boxes when running the form (not always the same button). I have tried deleting and redefining the button (and image) but it still spotty, I think something get corrupted in the binary definition of the form and it does not get erased/corrected when you save it, I will report it to RBTI as a bug. Hopefully, rebuilding the forms has helped with your problem. Javier,
