    i don't know for sure, but i think you can use the maskblt api

    somehow you could create a mask in the shape of the puzzle pieces and then voila or something.

    im not new to vb, but im new to the graphics stuff

    There's a much easier way: you could just make a lot of GIFs already cut in pieces (they're not much heavier than JPGs if you use the right software), and put them in Image controls. They'll already appear transparent.

    Of course, there's also 2 hard ways: by using BitBlt, or shaped pictureboxes.
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    In that case, you should load the different parts of the puzzle using BitBlt... Here at VB-World.net you'll find a good example on BitBlt (Lander game) that also includes transparency trough masks.
