>Thanks for your help. Do textbuttons have the same problem? I am planning to make an .exe and distribute the application. It will be in the same directory on the user's PC. If I make an .exe with textbuttons for the user must I make a directory on the user's PC similar to my PC for the code of the command buttons or will VFP take care of it during the compiling of the project into an application

Petrus,

As Nancy pointed out, it doesn't mean you can't use the picbutton class, it just means there is a little extra work to cover your bases. I personally have subclassed the textbutton class for my projects because here in Thailand the pictures cause confusion amoung people new to the computer. Which is most people. As far as where you put your program for the user, it is wise to set a public var to use as a reference to your startup directory. Check out sys(5) and sys(2003). I also use a standard directory structure like, I believe, the wizard app builder creates, ie, .\data .\menus .\progs etc.
