Ed,

>DEFINE POPUP cass MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4
>DEFINE BAR 1 OF cass PROMPT "Overview of CASS certification process" ;
> PICTURE "g:\graphics\fragezeichen05.bmp"

IMO the code should be working ok. We don't have MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4 in the command. But I don't think that this code causes any problems. Anyway, you could minimize the code to the essential things and see what happens:

DEFINE BAR 1 OF cass PROMPT [Overview of CASS certification process] ; 
PICTURE "fragezeichen05.bmp"

For testing purposes in the IDE you could do a SET PATH to the graphics directory.

> PICTURE "g:\graphics\fragezeichen05.bmp"
I always thought, "fragezeichen" is "question mark" in English? Seems that you are using German pictures. Are sure your users will understand them <vbg>?
