I am trying to create a program which, using a combo box, will display physics formulae and equations in a picture box but I can't seem to get it to work. The equation have to be typed up in something like Microsoft Word because they need special characters. I have only started using Visual Basic on my A level course so please keep it as simple as possible. I have no idea how to do this. Everytime I try to add a file it is added as a Module, is this how you do it. Is there a way to do this so that I can distribute the program?

You could make screen shots of the formulae and load them into an image control??
Place an "Image" control on your form - named Image1 and then you can load different pictures into the control by using:
Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("path_and_name_of_screen_shot"
And then to clear the image (if you do not want to show any screen shot), you would use:
Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(""
