Hi. I am making an app at the moment that involves the user choosing an icon file using the RequestFile() dialog box to be used in the app. However, I want the icon they selected to be diplayed in a Canvas but the LoadImage() command doesn't work with proper ICON files. However if I open JPEG or BMP, it displays it fine so I know it's not the programming. Is there another function or work around I could use because the program really wouldn't be that good without it. I would prefer it if I didn't have to use DLLs but if I do, could you tell me what I have to do. I am a newbie in the DLL field.

Thanks In Advance
