Lets say I wanted to display an image in my program, but I also want
to be able to change that image at a later point.  Lets say I already
have the images saved in my project folder.  How would I do this? 
What component would I use, and what code would I use to set/change
the image?

I assume I'd use TImage, but how do i get it to display the image? 
And how do I change it later on?

Image1.Picture.LoadFromFile('myimg.png');

Thank you!

What I am doing is creating a virtual pet, and the image needs to be
different depending upon how well he is taken care of.  Again, thanks
so much for the help!  I really appreciate it!

Create a list of TPicture use TObjectList
Load imgaes it to every item as like "theo" said
e.g.
  aList:=TObjectList.Create;

  aList.Add(TPicture.Create);
  (aList[0] as TPicture).LoadFromFile('myimg.png');
  ....
Now you can use it in your Timage that placed in the form
TImage1.Picture.Assign(aList[0] as TPicture);
