    32 bit icons with ToolBar

    I know VB doesnt like 32 bit icons but want to use them anyway. I have tried to make sense of:
    http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB...ly/article.asp and have gotten no where. is there any chance someone out there can put this into plain english? the author of the tutorial needs to learn how to teach. says do XYZ and doesnt tell you how. hmm. please advise if you can. if i am not able to get the 32 bit icons to work, then the toolbar isnt going to be used. and will stay as-is. thanks.

    MicroAngelo can make different sized icons automatically. I bought it a few months ago.

    BrailleSchool, that page details how to use 32-bit icons for forms. Not toolbars.

    i am sure there is a way to be able to modify it to be used for toolbars. however, i downloaded trial of MA and i opened the ico's into it and resaved and it allowed me to add the images. so i dont know. ill add the capture here for some feedback on the icons/toolbar to see what you guys think.

    If I use the toolbar then ill get rid of inventory and invoice in menu editor as you dont need it in two places. but as you can see from the icons in toolbar, they dont look that great. would also love to change the icon for invoice to a dollarsign or something, and something else for the products button... but to what?

    ideas/suggestions welcome.

    the icons are very poor, MicroAngelo made them look pretty cool but as soon as I add them to the toolbar, they are pathetic. so i am not going to bother with the toolbar now. will just stay with the menu editor. i am not about to spend $100-200 on getting someone to make icons that look good. oh well.
