Armin et. al.,

I have now officially tried everything that I can think of.
I have tried .bmp and .ico files.

Since my original menu was created in VFP6 and converted, I created a test menu from scratch in VFP7.

Thinking that maybe I had some SET command that was turning things off, I REMed out my DO set_sets.prg so that everything would be left as defaults. (My VFP7 / Tools / Options are still defaults for all practical purposes).

I went to another project that had no spaces in the project path nor the graphics path (you never know) and tested with that project and a test menu..

In all of the variations above I used both the File selection for the graphic name and the Set Skip option.

In all of the variations above I have entered the graphic file name with and without the full path and I had copies in both the menu subdirectory and the main project directory and the directory where the final exe was run from.

I am running Windows 2000 Server but I have run the exe on both a Windows 95 and 98 machines with the same results.

Is there any setting in either Windows or VFP7 that anyone can think of for me to try changing? Is there any thing else that anyone can think of for me to try?

I’m to the point now where I believe that I just have to give up.

TIA

PS. Armin, That particular graphic (but not all) came from a site that I found with a huge collection of icons. (I had to go by viewing the graphic rather than by looking up the name :-)..
