>That is exactly what I ended up doing. The issue seemed to be around how Foxpro stores pathing, etc. For what I was doing - and I still don't know exactly why - I had to use the PictureVal property and it had to be either a physical file on disk or a Blob field in a table. I just created a table that I included in the EXE that contained the FaceProfile.jpg file.

Should also make it easy if you decide to use a different jpeg as a default as well....
