Is there a way to suppress the import dialog box from showing, I used our
company logo as a picture on many forms. I almost reqret doing this but it
adds a little umph to the presentation of my app. There are about 15 forms
that have the logo on it, then there are 10 other forms with a different
image.
When my app starts it shows the dialog box where its importing the image
several times, then also when a form loads that has the image it also at
that time shows the importing image dialog.
Is there a better way to handle this, or is there a way to supress the
dialog box?

How did you insert the logo? I've done this many times by embedding the
picture into an Unbound Object Frame and I've never had this happen. It
adds somewhat to the size of your application, though.

I did have these as embedded objects. My application is a very large app. I
have been experiencing slow startup times with the runtime version on many
of the pcs. I did some research about slow startups, and this was one of the
issues.

My application was 349,116kb in size until I linked our logo and the other
jpeg images, now its at 15,264kb.

What I did was to put the jpegs in a folder with my app, then linked to the
images instead of embedding them to reduce the app size, and hopefully to
aid in the startup time.

Any thoughts on how to suppress the linking dialog box?

Thanks
David

Is there a way to set the value with packaging wizard, so that when its
installed on a pc, it remembers instead of me?

I remember a section involving the registery.

David if you GoogleGroups search for this issue with my name you will
find a few threads detailing the resolution to this issue. Depending
how/what profile you log onto your system the registry change needs to
be modified in multiple areas.

The changes have to be made in HKEY_CURRENT_USER as well if my memory
serves me correctly.
