Icon not working

I created an icon using MS Paint. It saved as a .ico file and all but VB
won't allow me to use it. Does anyone know why?

rae,
What you created with MS Paint is NOT an ICON, but most likely a BitMap
file with and extension of .ico (that DOES NOT make it an Icon) Icons are
graphics files with a very specific internal format, and they CANNOT be created
with MS Paint. Paint creates Bitmap files, JPEG or GIF files, and that is
it. To create an icon, you need special software such as
