I would like to make pictures that can be used on tab controls and buttons.
What size should they? 1"x1" or smaller?
What format should they be? (bmp, jpeg?)
Where can I save them so they can be selected from the drop down all the time?

Any comments / suggestion would really help!

Whatever size you want them to be. Often it's convenient to make them
the same size as other icons, e.g. 32x32 or 64x64 pixels.

The controls assume that they will be .bmp or .ico.

I don't know what dropdown you mean. The listbox in the Picture Builder
dialog seems to display a list of the icons embedded in msaccess.exe
(does anyone else know better?) and therefore isn't easily or safely
altered. So just store them in any convenient folder and browse to that.
