transparent XP icon

[Martin Reikenkamp]

I'd like to use a transparent icon in a ms access form. The icon looks good
(transparency) when I use the Windows XP-style. But when I switch the
preferences of the Windows & Buttons-settings to Windows - classic I see a
light gray background behind the icon.
What do I have to do when I would like to use the icon in both environments?

Thanks a lot, it works, but in my environment only with .gif-files.

Then you did not read the documentation correctly and/or your original
images do not have a white background as the docs explicitly state is
required.
