Hey everyone. I am new to the Visual Basic and computer programming world in general! I was wondering how to get an image file to move around and actually bounce off the edges of a fixed border form! I thought that it would be four simple "If...Then... Statements" where I would say that when the image got to a certain point, to turn and go the other way. Unfortunately, that doesn't work and I don't know what to do???? Can U PLEASE HELP???

Could you show the code you tried.
It would be best to set the scalemode of the Form to pixels, so that you know precisely the position and width and height of your image.
What exactly is your image? Something in a picturebox, or an imagebox?

To see how to use bitblt (my personally preferred method) to bounce an image off the edges of a form, you can use the download link (at the bottom of this page) to get the attached sample/demo:

However if you insist on using controls (as passel suggests), a picturebox control is always preferred over an image control (which can be somewhat flickery).

The attached demo uses a property I rarely use - the .Tag property (a "cubbyhole" in a picturebox control to stuff data into..)

Have a look at this oldskool demo I once made in VB:
