Changing a Form Background

[gadget3302]

I am trying to change a form background by selecting the file from a filelist box. What i've done is save the file name into a string variable but it wont load the picture.

Private Sub File1_Click()
Dim drvpath As String
drvpath = Dir1.Path & "\" & File1.FileName
Form1.Picture = drvpath
End Sub

Very simple code. What am I doing wrong?

Investigate trhe LoadPicture method ...

Not meaning to split hairs, but if you investigate the LoadPicture Statement, you'll find more help.
