Why does VB create an .frx file along wth the .frm file?
 
To store your icons and images,pictures

If you don't want .frx, don't add pictures
 
The frx is also used by some 3rd party controls to store binary info they need, so you can't always just delete it.

But shoud the frx get corrupt (which occasionally happens), you can recreate it by:
1) Open the form in VB in form view (not code view)
2) Use Windows Explorer to delete the frx file
3) Switch back to VB and immediately save the form.
4) The frx will get recreated
