[RESOLVED] .Picture property for CommandBarButton: Automation Error?

[Vhati]

Hey, i'm trying to load a custom icon for from a .res file and place it on a command bar button. I found some really straight example code, but for some reason it errors.
here is the example code:

Here is my code

'cBarBtn is a CommandBarButton
'cbrCmdBar is my CommandBar
Set cBarBtn = cbrCmdBar.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
Dim pic As IPictureDisp
Set pic = LoadResPicture("ICON1", vbResBitmap)
 
cBarBtn.Picture = pic 'this line errors

when i put a watch on cBarBtn, both the .Picture properties and .Mask properties are listed as <Automation Error>
I don't know what i need to to do fix it, i'm lost, any help would be great
thanks
