One simple l'ine of code stoppin prog to work!! Help!

[bradley252]

Adding variable names!
i have this line of code in a vb app:
Picturebox1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Matt\Cards\" & RandomCardName & ".bmp")

i want it to load a picturefrom the file
C:\Matt\Cards\Filename.bmp

seen as this file will be randomly choen by an array and stored inthe variabe RandomCardName
now the code above looks for file
C:\Matt\Cards\.bmp
can anyone solve it?? heeeeeelp!

if RandomCardName is an integer then u need to write:

CStr(RandomCardName)

so it would look like:

Picturebox1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Matt\Cards\" & CStr(RandomCardName) & ".bmp")

Try that

or try

Picturebox1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Matt\Cards\" + CStr(RandomCardName) + ".bmp")

so far i have tried the idea in the first pot, but when i run the code, it says object required, and points to picturebox1.picture
now i have a picture so what is the prob??

[PsychoMark]

try "Set PictureBox1.Picture = ....."
