    haywood222, this is a forum, not a chatroom. Please have some patience.

    As far as I know there are restrictions with using icons in VB. You can only use 16x16 or 32x32 icons with a maximum of 256 colors (although I could be wrong about this).

    If its saying invalid property value the icon file your giving it must be to big in scale, or there is too many colours used in the icon file for assigning as an icon for an exe file.

    To test this theory... use the windows find files & folders dialog to find some .ico files which are from the OS, and try assigning one of those using the icon property like you are doing.
