Can this be done using the above stated method, or there is some other way to do this? I mean that the status column will have no control source set but will display the image according to the value returned by the ping program.

Afternoon,
The best and easiest way if to set the picture property to what-ever
image you wish to be shown. I guess where you fire off the
thisformset.monitor.image1.Picture = 'ok.gif' command could be anywhere.
