Embedded As Images In A GUI Form

My first thought was to use the images as Pictures on command-button controls.

I made an essay by laoding a GUI form with two command buttons, and loading those controls (right-click, properties, picture) with an image each.

The user never sees the GUI form, but within the appliaction the VBA code can (a) Load the form (b) Obtain the image and (c) Unload the GUI form.

This worked well except that the GUI form control pictures had been hand-assigned by me.

I wrote VBA code to assign Pictures dynamically to the GUI form, but sad to relate, such modifiactions to the GUI form are made only in the loaded copy of the GUI form. Any attempt to save the GUI form either by saving the template (Word: File, Save) or the Userform module (VBE: File, Export) are doomed to failure.

Sigh!
