Hi levW, please put your code within `<code>code here...</code>` code tag to format it in such a way that it is readable. Your normal paragraphs should be put into `<p></p>` tags for the same reason.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Where are you getting this error from? Try using an absolute path in $path1 instead of just the filename Also, $path1 is better written as $reloadPage or $reload_button_file or ... Not sure I see any connection between the bitmap and the button	[reply]

Thanks, will comply with formatting in future - I'm new to this forum. Tried using the absolute path - still the same error from cmd, when the program starts .	[reply]

I think your problem is you're trying to load a .jpg and not a .bmp	[reply]

Hi,<P. Why was it needed to repeat this advice a third time 5 hours later? (preview was the first time, stevieb second time, OP hasn't returned yet)	[reply]
