>I can add icons with transparent backgrounds to my forms as pictures.

For BMPs you have to provide MSK files to define transparent areas. See Using Picture Masks in help for details.
JPGs don't support transparency.
GIFs/PNGs support transparency but they have to be created with transparency enabled. What VFP version are you using? How do you put pictures on the form?
