About window
The Image control is often used when creating About windows to insert raster images.
The following project demonstrates such use.
To implement it, create a window with an image and two labels. You will also need a raster file containing your or another image.
Make sure the required graphic file is located in the default directory used by MS Excel.
In the form module, type the necessary code.
Note that different font settings are used in the labels to give the window a more professional appearance.
