Hi Marc,

If the BMP file is included in the project, it becomes part of the EXE and cannot be modified.

>The problem comes from VSS where the "c:\MyProject\images\01.bmp" is readonly. Because if I do CheckOut in VSS, I don't have that error. I don't understand why in command window savepicture works but not after compilation. Why it try to access my bmp file when program is compiled and not in command window?
