Of course, your chickens probably have a slightly different view[^] of you.:-D "Your village called - They're missing their idiot."

Thanks, because of your story, I don't regret going to TaxCut last year. And as long as they don't have all the registration/spyware crap that TurboTax does, I'll use TaxCut again this year. So, ironically, Intuit lost a customer because it is trying to fight piracy. I think Intuit screwed up here though, it shouldn't tie the program to a copmuter and allow just one instance of the program - it should tie it to a user. For a tax program, that would work well... nobody will want to turn in a tax form with somebody else's name on it... If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

I see the type of situation, but not the real incicent.

You need to use the ::LoadImage API function, and specify the size for the icon, 16 x 16. Also, for the tray with anything below Win2000 and win9x you can only use the VGA palette for systray icons.

You hit it right there. I didn't throw anything like that in, because usually that conversation happens an hour later when I get back to my desk to work on the report generator. Paul Oss
