>>I've build an Icon file for my vfp 5.0 app. I used imagedit to create it. It's an 16 color 32x32 with an 16 color 16x16 icon file. Then in the project manager i included the icon file. When the application was tested on other machines, the app crashed on several places at random interval (never the same place, never the same time). causing a GPF in module GDI.EXE.

However, to be sure that the file hasn't somehow been corrupted, I'd first re-create it, then attach the new icon to the project and re-build.

Hmm, well, i've seen that vfp 6 wouldn't start with an icon with 256 colors attached hence my idea that the icon could be the problem in VFP5.

But i'm 1 day before a deadline so i'll won't dare to test at this point :-)

I'll will try this some other time (again since i've rebuild the icon several times but i'll try some other iconbuilder).

Thnx, WD
