Hi Einar, no I don't have a folder of that name, It seems that because I changed the original namespace name (of the class ), and the folder the file was in, changed, VS got confused. I sorted it by deleting all the bitmaps (I only quoted one in the original thread !) and copied them to the root project folder then re-added them to the project, thanks for your help
Regards,
