Thanks Erel,
How do you handle so many questions from stumbling coders like me.
anyway my real delema is how to set the back ground using words and image from a table. I could not find anyway to set a button background without using the following code. I should look at a tictactoe program and see what they are doing.
the following is the code that works but I can find how to get my sql pic to be set in the background of the button.
Button1.Text="AnyWord"
Button1.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "AnyPic.png"))
The tempature is getting over 100. airconditioning not keeping up with outside heat so I will shutdown now until the temp drops or I take my laptop to a coffee house.
Basic4android doesn't impose any limit.
There is such an example in the SQL tutorial.

Note that you should use LoadBitmapSample if the images are larger than the screen size (to save memory).
