Hi Koos,
You need to create mask file for the BMP's. Save your picture as the same name with a an extension of MSK. Open this .msk file from Paint and change all the colors to black.
You are now ready to go....
If the bitmaps do not show the right colors from VFP, issuing CLEAR RESO would help.

>I have a problem with pictures on my buttons. The white collor area's in my picture becomes transparant when the pictures appear on a button. Its really crazy you know, At first I had a reference to a picture file in a directory. When I copied the picture to another directory and I changed the reference, the white area's in my picture became tranparant.
