Is it posible to put a .gif or .jpg file into a dialog
does it have to be a .ico?

*sigh* -> type /help /dialog
You really should start reading the help file instead using the forum to let others write your script !!!
We really help you on your scripting problems - but we do NOT write your script.

If I recall correctly, an icon must be some form of a bitmap, extension doesn't matter. Frequently, you can use icons stored inside .dll or .exe files, as well as .ico or .bmp files.

i tried to look for that in the help file
but it didnt really say anything specici about it,
i was thinking its only ico
but you can do jpg to,
after what Merlyn said i tried to see if it would work,
but the help files didnt say a word about it

THere are graphic programs where you can convert jpg and gif's into ico files one such program is Graphic's Workshop Pro which can be downloaded at web page
