I started with JPGs but following your last suggestion I converted them to
BMPs.
> 02. What is the size of those images?
4 have a filesize of 43,486 bytes and physical size of 237 x 61 pixels with
16.7 million colours (24 bit)
1 has a filesize of 75,654 bytes and physical size of 504 x 50 pixels also
24 bit.

A mixture of sources, but PaintShopPro to edit and save as JPG then
PaintShopPro to batch convert to BMP.

Yes, both. SET at a Dos prompt shows:
TEMP=C:\TEMP
TMP=C:\TEMP
and the directory exists.

Give me a mo'...
I copied CCC.BMP from ConComp to my test directory and created a new button
using it on the form.
Button at: x:133 y:345 cx:231 cy:289, runs this eep:
SET VAR vButton TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vButton = (CVAL('Form_Field_Name'))
RECALC VARIABLES
RETURN
I have a text button and my larger image button also on the form with the
variable vButton. Nothin else. All 3 buttons run the same eep.
Clicking on either image leaves vButton as null but the text button returns
the button text the the field.
(There must be a use for that - I didn't know it could be done - show the
user what was last clicked on.)

No, it works just fine.

I'll read/check through the History.DAT file later this evening to see if I
can find anything that helps or shows me if I am doing something wrong.
