Picture1 should be blank

Based on the provided information, it seems like you're looking to ensure that Picture1 starts empty or blank before loading an image when using Visual Basic 6 (VB6). To achieve this, you can set Picture1 to a blank or empty state before loading the actual image.

One way to accomplish this is by setting the Picture property of Picture1 to a null or empty value before loading a new picture. Here's how you can modify your code snippet to achieve this:


Private Sub Section3_Format(ByVal pFormattingInfo As Object)
    ' Clear the existing picture before loading a new one
    Picture1.Picture = Nothing
    
    ' Load the new picture from cimage1.Value
    Set Picture1.FormattedPicture = LoadPicture(cimage1.Value)
End Sub

By setting `Picture1.Picture = Nothing` before loading the new picture, you ensure that Picture1 is initially blank before displaying the new image from `cimage1.Value`.

This modification should help you achieve the desired behavior of having Picture1 start blank before loading a new image in your VB6 application. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
