images on buttons - errors doesn't support the format.

[Robert Blackwell]

Doesn't support the format of the file c:\dir\myfile.gif,' or the file is
too large. Try converting the file to BMP of GIF format.

I originally tried this with png files but when I got this error the first
time, I tried with fig and still got the same error. The images are small,
only 2k or less on average.

I get the same error. Did you come up with a solution?

 

[Robert Blackwell]

No

I think I might repost since the 22nd was really a bad day to post, most
people gone for the holiday that week and then it got barried by tons of
other posts...

Did you try to convert to .ico?

Button-face bitmaps are very small files...

I am not at all certain that Access buttons support PNG. And, as I said,
they are very small files... there are few pixels in which to display them
on a button.
