Hi, I am developing an Excel add-in in VC++ and want to add a picture on a commandbar button. I am using OleLoadPicturePath() to load a bitmap and get an IPictureDisp interface which I set to the picture property of the button. This works ok while I access the bitmap as an external file; but now I want to include my bitmap as a HTML resource in the addin-in DLL and access it using the resource protocol like: OleLoadPicturePath(L"res://<Path>\Addin.dll/mypicture.bmp", ...); This call fails with an HRESULT which basically says the resource could not be loaded. There is nothing wrong with the DLL since the URL used above loads the bitmap in internet explorer without problems. Can someone help me out on this one please. Many thanks, -- s.jay_k
