Does VB allow importing of a picture file that is in the .eps (encapsulated post script) format?
 
Well why don't you try it? Just place in an image box and pick the picture you want to test.
 
I did. However VB6 does not recognize an .eps file as a Picture file, nixing bringing it into an Image (or Picture) Box.

I did come up with a so/so workaround: it's possible to insert the .eps into PowerPoint, though the image quality is degraded. The .ppt file can be saved as a .bmp, .gif or .jpg which CAN be loaded into the VB ImageBox, although the loss of quality is carried through.

Evenso, there are a few tricks involved in getting this to work. Will detail if anyone is interested.
 
There may be another work around if you do not mind decoding the file yourself... check out...


and search for eps. You will find 3 entries (ver 1.2, 2.0, and 3.0)

Good Luck
