>Also, if I move the creation of all those images elsewhere below in the code such as just before I launch my menu, I can go further in the code before it start freezing. For exemple, I can have the application to be built ok if I create up to the 20th image now. But, as soon as I create the 21st image, it will start freezing on the next build. So, it's something related to the memory. I just am running out of ideas now on a potential workaround to have that code to be executed ok. I need those images to be created in order to having a bug in the VFP menu when images are shown next to an item.

If it is memory related, could be you've just used up the available space for that resource. If you do a sample using a really small picture, can you get more images loaded before the problem occurs?
