Jon,

I would assume that you could embed the icon in the file, say, for example, as an icon for a form, but if you wished to use it via LOADPICTURE() somewhere else, you'd also have to supply an independent copy. I wonder, however, if the same thing might happen if the LOADPICTURE() was called without the path being included. The problem being that you don't always know in advance what the working directory for the application is going to be. Any thoughts on this?
