>That's the problem right there -- LOADPICTURE() has a bug that causes an error when you try to load an image file that's built into the APP/EXE even if the files are also available on disk. The solution is to not include them in the project. This can be a problem if you're using the same image for, say, a form icon or commandbutton picture; the only solution I've found is to either mark the image file as excluded in the project or create a copy of the image file, give it a different name, and use it for LOADPICTURE.
