I have a form with a picture on it (not a picture box, a picture as one of the properties of the form). How can I have the picture stretch itself when the size of the form changes?

resizing a form's picture

There are probably several ways to do this.
I suggest that you put an image control on the form. Set the Top and Left to 0 and the stretch property to TRUE.
Include a resize event so that the image control resizes with the form.
You have to be careful because a form has a height and width property. Don't use these because they represent the outside border height and width (including the title bar and the border of the form). Insead, you should use ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth.
Ex.
Image1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
Image1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
