Hi, While loading files to an imagebox you can add it directly in design time and VB take the burden to manage picture files even if it is not in the specified folder. VB uses a .frx file to store all the picture informaion of a form (if added in design time) . But if u are adding pictures at runtime then nothing can be done with pictures. Only u can do is remove extensions of all the picture files and concatinate the respective information to the reguired picture file while loading the picture at runtime.
