>>I have built an EXE. In some of the forms I am using BMPs & ICOs for Image and Drag and Drop controls. During development I gave the exact loaction for the image control. ie "C:\app\user.bmp". Now while creating a distributed EXE I simply want to include these BMPs & ICOs in my EXE and also I don't want to give exact loaction of BMP. Because BMP is now going to be included in EXE. So what should I give in the "picture" property of an image control?

Also, you can include just the file name wherever you've called the BMP. Instead of using the browser to find the BMP file, type in
="mybump.bmp"
Note the = and the " " . You can even add a relative path:
="allpicts\mybmp.bmp"
This is particularly useful if you've been running into that awful non-existant D drive problem that crops up periodically.
