>I am attempting to create an application that is basically a compiled container for images. We attempting to put all of our images into an application that itself can be rebuilt when images change or are added to, without having to rebuild the application that access these images. I guess my question is if anyone has done this before, or is there an easier solution that I'm missing.

Hi John;

Even in a grid control you can handle images..

Before start, just take some cares.. Dont use images in a DBF (in a general field). You can store the references names in fields, like "c:\foldera\images\myimg1.jpg", and create a folder an uset it (JPG format certanlly is the best choice for images files)

..afterthat, just build your mechanism to show the images in a grid !!
