Why can't I load a picture?

[SteveCRM]

This won't work!
On Error GoTo PATorJK
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
Open CommonDialog1.Filename For Input As #1
Image1.picture = Input(LOF(1), #1)
Close #1
PATorJK: Exit Sub

It won't open the picture!

no ur right it won't, because
Open.. Input.. Close
they cant be used to get binary files, only text files (or any non binary file, eg, u can use open..close for word docs)
anyway, do this:
assuming u've got to the ShowOpen bit..

image1.picture = loadpicture(CommonDialog1.FileName)
