Ok Bob:

I give; I've got egg all over my face - but I didn't know you could do this.

I've messed around a bit today, after reading your post, and am only having
partial success.

The bitmaps are definately being added to the executable now (I view the hex
contents and can "see" them).

However I cannot access them via the LoadBitmap() funtion unless the bitmap
is dragged from the resource file to the projects main resource file, which
defeats the whole purpose for this (previous attempts with LoadImage also
failed).

I've been searching through the docs I have available and haven't seen
anything clear cut yet. You mentioned building (compiling) an res file from
the rc file and then including that in the primary project - this had the
effect mentioned above.
Similar references suggested using rc.exe to complile the rc to an res and
then use cvtres to convert it to an obj and then link it in... I've tried
these and others without success.

If you would like to send your thoughts without further cluttering of the
piclist with this topic, my email is below (I've searched for yours over
many of your posts but never found it included).

Thanks for the previous post.
Bruce.

Um,

I think you build a RES file from the RC file, then include the RES file in
the primary project.

But I could be wrong.
