I'm not sure whether code in a sited usercontrol executes before or after Form_Load, but I'd suspect before. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

Gotcha. That hadn't occurred to me. Tony

And your app didn't blow before adding it, right? ;-) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

Trouble is it's 3,000+ lines of code and I'm havnig trouble narrowing down the failing line of code. I thought I had it but .... Tony

You have some answers on how to start debugging, but out of curiosity, what is the bit depth of the BMPs you're using? If you don't discover anything else, might you to post a hex dump of the first 64 bytes of one of them? I'm not suggesting they're faulty, but I've had some interesting difficulties with BMPs that VB didn't like. -- Jim |
