Q:

How to set a background for my form in c++builder6? 

I am new to C++Builder 6, but I have used C++.  My question is, how do I set a background for my form?  When I open the application I want the background to have a specific image.  I tried with Graphics::TBitmap but it says that the image is not valid even if it is bmp. 
Graphics::TBitmap *BmpTabla = new Graphics::TBitmap;

try {
        BmpTabla->LoadFromFile("board.bmp");

}
__finally
{
    delete BmpTabla;
}  

Edit: I just changed the picture and worked fine. 

A:

Drop TImage component to the form, send it to back of the all controls, set the Align property to alClient. 
In runtime
Image1->Picture->LoadFromFile("board.bmp");
