Hi Javier It is a bmp file about 1 meg that I just placed on the form 5 times. I think 1 meg is too big for such a small icon. Maybe I should save that bmp file in a different format??
I got the idea from a shareware program I found that only cost $59. I know it would be cheaper to just buy that program but what is the fun in that?
