Please help I want to have an icon into my Outlook Contact..

I think I did what you want me to do but without success. I can't get the
..ico loaded. What might be the problem or what do I do wrong?

I would suggest that you try again and take notes on what you see, especially
if what you see is different from what I've described.

I have tried to follow your suggestion still without success. This is what I
did:

In form design mode (I went into the form design mode), right-click the
control (in the Toolbox Controls I right clicked Image and placed a square on
a free part of the desing and then right clicked on the square and then I
chose Advanced Properies), and then choose Advanced Properties. Select the
Picture property, and then its browse (...) button to display the Load
Picture dialog, in which you can search for the .ico file you want to display
in that control. (I selected the Picture property and browsed for the Icon
which I placed on my desk top and has a file name: doctor and Files of type:
Icons(*.Ico;*.Cur) then I click Open and nothing happens).

I am sure I did something wrong. I tried the same thing and did not use the
Toolbox Controls but clicked on a free part of the design. Again without
success. I tried to find “the control� but there is nothing with this name.

Thanks for helping me out after all these hours of trying.

That sounds like the right steps. Maybe the problem is with the image itself.
The way to find out is to try a different one. Also, is the image control on
the form large enough to display the picture you've selected?
