Open "C:\PicView\Collections\FastLoadExp.txt" For Input As #1

j1 = 0
Do Until EOF(1) = True

Input #1, s1

ReDim Preserve pic(j1 + 1)

Set pic(j1) = New Picture1

pic(j1).Picture = LoadPicture(s1)
pic(j1).Visible = False
...

question:
why would the SET, NEW statements create an arror like
"user defined type not defined" ?
the pic() variable is a global that is of type PictureBox
