SUMMARY
=======

An .FRX file is a binary data file used to store binary information for the form
(.FRM) file with the same file name.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Some controls, such as the PictureBox and Image controls, have properties that
use binary data as their values. Visual Basic stores the binary data in an .FRX
file with the same file name as the Form file. The .FRX file is a proprietary
format.


If your project contains .FRX files, you should include these files with the
corresponding .FRM files. A form containing binary information but lacking the
associated .FRX files will not function correctly.

REFERENCES

For a good description of what the .FRX file is and how it works, please refer
to the Binary Property Values section of the Appendix A: Form and Project File
Formats chapter of the Programmer's Guide.
