<QUOTE>John,



In the first situation, it sounds like the customer is seeing the default bitmap instead of the one you provided. This means that it can't find the image. Double check to make sure the image exists and/or that the path to the image is valid. Are you creating an absolute or relative path to this image?



In the second situation, it sounds like a video card problem or a resolution problem. How many colors do these bitmaps have? Do other bitmaps on buttons display correctly?

<QUOTE>in the first sitwation it is an absulte path. and no other bitmaps in openinsight are displaying correctly.



in the second situation I felt it was the video card. a switch is in the works.

<QUOTE>Are you sure that the application is installed in the correct drive and path then? Anyway, it is usually best to modify the path to your bitmap entities as relative from the directory OI is installed in. For instance:



Instead of F:\REVSOFT\OINSIGHT\BMPS\BITMAP.BMP



Make it .\BMPS\BITMAP.BMP

<QUOTE>For the colors on the buttons, sounds like a CTL3D.DLL issue.  OI only likes certain versions.  Others give you only black text.  You'll have to play around with various versions until you find ony with the button style and color display capabilities you like best.
