There are 4 properties of the form you can use to do this.

Top = Y Coordinate of the top of the form
Left = X Coordinate of the left edge of the form

These 2 combine to give you the origin of the form (Left, Top)

ScaleWidth = Number of units wide
ScaleHeigth = Number of units tall

So in the form resize event you would need to do something like this
(assumes your picture is in a picture box control called Picture1, picture boxes are easier than image controls because they have scaleheigth and scalewidth properties. I also set the ScaleMode of the form to Inches, the default is Twips. If you leave scalemode as twips, your offsets will be in the thousands rather than the -1 i am using here )

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Picture1.Top = 0
Picture1.Left = Me.ScaleWidth - 1
End Sub

Using this code on a test form i got had a small picture box that always stayed at the top right of the form. Experiment.
