Thanks for the quick reply. I am not trying to make my whole picture transparent, though. I simply want the parts of the picture that should be transparent to be transparent, so you see the forms backcolor instead of the image.

If you have a bitmap for a toolbar button set, the same problem happens if you do not include a msk file to tell foxpro what it should treat as transparent. For the form picture, however, it looks as though foxpro ignores any msk files and renders the entire image. I want to know if there is some way to get the form picture to behave like the command button picture.
