>I have an application that keeps getting this message upon startup (i.e. when displaying the toolbar)... the funny thing is that this same application runs fine on my machine and some others, but not all machines... if I remove the picture associated with the push button and replace it with text, the problem goes away... but this is not an option... does anyone have an idea on what exactly the problem is???

I had this issue in VFP3. It only happened on certain machines. I can't say I know how or why, but here is what I found to be the cause. If I had my project on my D drive and compiled the project to my C drive. The exe would give the error. In fact, anytime I built an executable to a different drive than the project I would get this issue. I gave up trying to figure out why, and started building the exe to the same directory as my project and then copied it the drive I wanted. I don't know if this applies to your situation or not, but I bet it's a thought you hadn't considered!!
