I believe you can add a pic frame and insert a photo, but if you need the form to have a background, you'll need to go to the form's properties, find picture are, then insert a photo.

I should perhaps tell you, you may have to find the photo you need firsthand, then determine whether it is big enough to fit your form.

Good luck!

Just use win32 api (easy)
