these are the problems

1. load bitmap "c:\car.bmp" <------ this works
2. load bitmap "c:\car.bmp",0 <------ this works
3. load bitmap "c:\car.bmp",1 <------ this does not work
4. load image "c:\car.bmp",1 <------ does not work
5. load image "c:\car.bmp" <------ does not work

when you say it doesn't work, you mean it doesn't display the image right?
it displays with the first 2 because you are loading your bitmap to the screen (bitmap number 0) with the next one you are loading it to a hidden(offscreen) bitmap, so you can't see it. with the images you must have an image number at the ned of the command and to get it to show, put "paste image 1,0,0" just after you've loaded it.

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

that aint working it is saying that there is an error on the paste image and then the load image command gets deleted.

hi try this- start a new file and save it into a folder (any folder will do but new one will be easier) then place your .bmp file in the folder.

now place the commands in your DB project

load image "Picturename.bmp",1
paste image 1,0,0

for the picturename dont put in the whole destination of the picture just the picture's name eg "picture1" not "C:\folder1\picture1"

if it works you can then change the values of the two 0's in the paste image command to place the image anywhere on screen.

o a bit of advice never give up,its the best adivce i can give, also check out the command examples within DB, they will help you alot

hope i've helped
