Frequently I see icons or small graphics in various computer programs (for example Win Vista) that I would like to use in FileMaker. Is there a way to copy them as a graphic and create buttons for use in FM?

They are usually bitmaps within your system. However, I would hesitate to go ahead and do this since it may possibly break intellectual property laws.

There are free clip art out there that you can use instead.

John, If you need some real good free icons, contact me. I will set you up.

The Silk icons are very nice, and completely free.

Also take a look here.
