Losing several bitmap images (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

Has anyone notice the loss of bitmaps files?
We have seen this a couple times – once here and just today at a client site. This doesn't of course stop the form from functioning, but it does look unslightly.
We just replace the missing files and everything is okay.
Has anyone seen this or know why this happens?
Thanks,

Ray,
Are you saying that "out of the blue" this just happens? That is, this doesn't happen after an upgrade?
If the former, then I would guess that it is due to user intervention. I have never seen bitmaps just disappear on their own. A suggestion would be to start moving static images (like borders, buttons, etc.) into a resource DLL.

Don,
Yes this is unusual. I don't believe that users are doing anything intentionally or unintentionally. As I said, this has happened on our system and now at a client site. The missing BMPs were:
W98_T, W98_L, W98_R, W98_B, W98_TR, W98_TL, W98_BL, & W98_BR
Strange, isn't it.
Hmmm, roll the graphics into a DLL. Now that would be fun…However, if the graphics are moved into a DLL, then how do you "point" to them from the forms in question.
Thanks,
Ray

In the sub-key of your repository pointer you would replace ".\BMPS\W98_T.BMP" with "image.dll#W98_T". Then you must recompile your forms. Check out the BITMAP property in the Programmer's Reference Guide.
