PictureBox Source File?

[Bob]

Boy,
Do I feel dumb.
I created an Image for a picture box control which is currently in use and I
can't find the source file.
If I click on the image property ellipis it opens on the last directory used
by any project.
I can't find the filename but it obviously stored somewhere because the
picturebox opens the correct image on instantiation.
Why does it not show the filename in the property list?
How can I find out where it is looking for the image?
thanks
Bob

Unfortunately, it's probably not looking at an image on disc but at the
definition held in the resources.

This means that unless you can magic the filename out of your head it's lost
to you unless you alter the program and get the picturebox to save a copy of
it's image.....

Be careful because it might be the only copy you have.
