>Michelle- is this a relative pathing issue? I mean, in your form class after you select the icon, does the full path to the icon show in the property sheet? If not, I think your problem is that the subclassed forms cannot find the icon because its location is different relative to the scx file.

I highly recommend that after you do make the switch, you make the switch retroactive; that is, go into to your existing forms and change the classes of the object that already live there.

It's got the right path, and I know it can find the icon because it displays the icon. It's close enough that I know it's the right icon, but it looks mangled.

Thanks,
