I agree. Unfortunately, it this case, the image is the user's logo and can be anywhere on the user's computer. The user selects the image through a common dialog control when setting up the database. It was misleading that for this particular image, it was located in the Program Files folder and was then moved with the database files to Vista's Users folders, and the path was not changed. I now have code that checks that the path is valid before running Lebans code, in case the database files are moved in the future.

That's why I NEVER hardcode paths. I always use either CurrentProject.Path as the root path or Special Folder resolution to get Temp, My Documents, Application Data etc. -- Stuart -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
