Hi Danny,

Glad to see you're making progress!

just inclde/merge your second resource file into your project's original
resouce file, so in this scenario, your project only has the original
resouce file to compile.

It would be OK, you can create a resouce-only DLL to add your second
resource file, and the application could call LoadLibrary to explicitly
link to that DLL. Then the application would call the generic functions
FindResource and LoadResource to access the resources at run-time, please
refer to the following MSDN doc for more detailed info:

Create a Resource-Only DLL

ML/_core_create_a_resource.2d.only_dll.asp

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.


Thanks!
