I have used a JPG for backgroundImage for an application form.
My question is that do I always need the JPG with the exe program?
So if I give my exe program to another user, the person won’t be able to view the backgroundImage if I dont provide the JPG file?
another question is regarding the icons that I use for the program (exe icon and an icon that displays at top of your program).. are these icons stored in the program? or i need to provide the icon file(s)?
sorry i only have a machine and don’t have someone to test for me.
cheers,

You need to add image as a resource for the Application. If you add it simply as a file link e.g. C:\somelocation as soon as that changes you loose teh image.
If its added as a resource then it is inculded with the build and always present for the Application.
