transparent button on custom commandbar

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm trying to create a toolbar and having the same trouble everyone
does with the button faces. This MS help topic is great:

HOWTO: Create a Transparent Picture For Office CommandBar Buttons

It works when you load a picture from a bmp file.:
Set oPic = LoadPicture("c:\testbmp.bmp")

I also tried it by using a bmp loaded into a picturebox.
Set oPic = Picture1.image

But it doesn't work and doesn't give me a transparent button. Any idea
why?
