Efficient image use.

Hi all,
I have an MDB with about 500 forms each of which have a subform attached in
the top right with our logo on it.
The logo subform just has an Unbound Object Frame on it with an embedded
bitmap.

This works fine under 97. My problem is with Access XP. Under XP, when
developing, if I put a form (that has the logo subform on it) into design
view all the other forms with the logo subform on it close down. As
developers, you can understand that this isn't acceptable at all when
stepping thru code as some forms refer to allready loaded forms (which have
shut down), --- this didn't happen in 97.

So what I want to do is change from putting the logo subform on the forms to
putting an "image" on the forms.

Our app is often deployed on Terminal servers so I don't really want to LOAD
A PICTURE FROM A FILE each time a form loads..

What I'd like to know is, can I load a picture ONCE into memory and then
refer to it in my other forms?????????

Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Just a question (as I'm sure I can't improve on Stephan's
answer) - Is it inefficient to use Linked images ? I use
about 5 very small images on each of my 50 forms. They
are used in place of command buttons and I link them
wherever they are needed. Will my forms load faster if I
use your method Stephan ?
