pictures

what variable types will hold pictures?

It depends on what you are doing, and how you are doing it - but the most likely one is StdPicture

now an error comes up saying variable not set

I am just holding the picture value of a picturebox.

Are we supposed to somehow know what code is causing that error? :confused:

I just say

Code:

---

variable = picture1.picture

---

As it is not a simple data type (Integer/String/...), you need to Set it, eg:

Code:

---

Set variable = picture1.picture

---

And when you have finished with it, you should close it if appropriate (not for StdPicture), and then set it to nothing, eg:

Code:

---

Set variable = Nothing

You could also load it from the resource editor
cmdButton.Picture = LoadResPicture(113, vbResBitmap)
