>Thanks for the info. Paint said you could make it transparent by not checking the Draw Opque, sometimes it worked and sometimes not. It was driving me even more crazy. Do I have to include my .msk files or my .bmp files in my project under Other, Other Files?

You need to have the BMP and the MSK in the same directory with the same name. That is, you'd have New.BMP and New.MSK. VFP knows to use the MSK file with the corresponding BMP. Once you point to the BMP, both files should get included in your project automatically.
