I know BMP is better quality, but the files are much larger. Presummably a BMP image for a background picture on the form would take longer to load than a GIF, and of course a GIF would be smaller in file size. Any recommendations? |

Gif can be just as good if you use the right program. Though, if I'm not mistaken, VB loads any image file into memory as a bmp so I don't think it would much matter, aside from the obvious download size. |

It's stored in memory as a bitmap, so if you use GIF it will have to convert it to bitmap at some point. The arguement is this: Do we load them off the disk small, and convert, or do we load them off the disk big and not convert? Test it and let us know the results
