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?

Marc
