>I don't know if this will avoid this problem, but you might also want to look at the Picture Clip control if the images are all the same size. What it allows you to do is create one bitmap containing all the images. You simply need to use the .ListImages.Add() method to add them to the control, referencing the Picture Clip's GraphicCell collection. By combining the images into one file you can reduce the amount of disk I/O by simple loading only one, rather than multiple images.

Thanks much for the suggestion. I'll try that as soon as the rest of it stabilizes. (We closed yesterday!!!)
