Did you provide the full path in the bmp name for the -B switch?

>Thanks Sergey for the help. I had already tried using the -B option but VFP 6 ignored it (May be not supported). If only I could use the WSH to quickly create and display the Splash screen, within the the WSH screen I call my EXE and Destroy the WSH screen once the main form is displayed then I will be set. I wanted something that is not dependent on VFP because if VFP delays in loading then the Splash also delays. Remember the EXE is on the Network and at times it drags because of traffic.
