Ok I need an Icon to represent the Clearing of a Chat window. Something like an Eraser or a Pencil with an Eraser on the end.

It has to be 265 as its for a Toolbar.

Thanks in Advance.

messagelogtxt.text = RTrim(messagelogtxt.Text)

This coerces a string into a variant, right trims it and then coerces it back into a string. To avoid the data type coercion overhead use Rtrim$...

Private Sub Form_Load()

Is "coerces a string into a variant" a good thing or a bad thing?

Its a bad thing.
Allowing VB to coerce things - nono.
And working with variants, unless you're delibrately doing it, then its a bad idea.

Don't worry, I found a reasonable Eraser Icon.
