   I don't know. did you try Mike's method? I tried
downloading the vbAccelerator control, which has
a Picture property, but when I tried running the
program I got error 429 (unable to load ActiveX object)
and then the IDE crashed. Unfortunately, VBAccelerator
code is excessivly complex and they intertwine a lot of their
own DLLs and doodads. At the same time they include almost
nothing in terms of documentation. It can take awhile to
get their code working....if it works at all.

  But their method looks like it's pretty simple. Like you
they're using WS_EX_TRANSPARENT to make the RTB
transparent. Then the Picture property just sets the
Picture property of the underlying UserControl.

  I downloaded the compiled control, which came as a
single OCX file in a ZIP. So one would expect that should
work once registered. But it didn't.
