I created a simple program with the code I learned in class.
It works fine except when I compile it as a .exe it still points to the path on the local drive. How do I get the compile to include the pictures?

If you use VB's CurDir function it will return the directory the exe is stored in
try making a simple program with just a form and a label and put this code in the form load event
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption=CurDir
End Sub
then compile this and try moving the .exe around your hard drive it should always show the Right Directory even with shortcuts etc
Then just put your pictures in the same Directory as the .exe File and save the CurDir as a string in the form load event of your main form, use this string to find your pictures
