There are some image formats that cannot be read by VB6.0 (e.g. .png). Try also the color mode of the image if it is in rgb or cmyk mode. : )

ofcourse i changed the picture name.
i have written the code in form load event

private sub form_load()

me.picture=load picture("C:\Doc uments and Settings\Admini strator\Desktop \From Zero\image.jpeg ")

end sub

Did you try it on form properties as suggested by werks?

well there are two main alternatives you will use first

you can just go to your toolbox get the image control or picture box control
put it to the form and go to the propertise of that image control and click where there is pictureand locate the picture.

secondly you can load it on run time.
me.picture = loadpicture("lo cation of the picture")
try it out.

Hi,

I guess, LoadPicture dosent support ".jpeg" extensions, change it to ".jpg" and check

me.picture=load picture("C:\Doc uments and Settings\Admini strator\Desktop \From Zero\image.jpg" )

I think before we make any more guesses, it would be very helpful if mclueless tells us what "not working" actually means. We're working in the dark here - it could be anything from "that's not the right image" to "the computer blew up and destroyed the house". Chances are it's somewhere between these extremes, of course.

Here comes an other problem to you that if the picture resolution is larger than form it will not appears full or if it is smaller then other portion of form will remain uncolored.
Like if your form is on 1024x768 resolution and picture you are using as background is of 640xsomething then it will not cover the whole form.
You can check this by applying...
