This may seem a simple question...when you add an icon to a form or add a graphic to a picture box...if I compile the program and send it out are these icons and pictures stored in the app, or do you need the graphic/icon file sent with the app, and stored some wkere on their local file system?

When you compile the app, the pictures will be stored in the exe.
Great..thank you
If you use loadpicture to load a picture, you do need to send the file with the app.
Is there a way to store avi files within the exe?
If you use a resource file and LoadResData, you should be able to. However, if it's larger than about a megabyte, it's usually better to keep it as a separate file.
The main avi file is about 3MB...you think this is to big to stick in a resource file..is there a perfomance hit or something?
Well, VB will have a hard time loading that amount of data. It will either be slow, or not work at all.
However, you can always try and see what happens.
Thanks a lot for your help!!
