Error in resource file

[Douglas McDonald]

I'm using an image button with the window style set to icon and an icon added to .ico image library with format set to icon.
When I try to compile I get an error in the resource file that states the file format in the image library is incorrect can't create resource file.
I've tried using a bitmap also with the same results.

Any thoughts?

Did you try giving the two images a different name?

IMAGE_FOLDER03 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "..\\IMAGES\\FOLDER03.BMP"
IMAGE_FOLDER03 ICON DISCARDABLE "..\\IMAGES\\FOLDER03.ICO"

This looks like a possible problem.

and the bitmaps/icons have to be present in the release folder...

The problem is this line:

MENUITEM "Sort WO's", IDC_FRMMAIN_MNUSORTWO'S, MFT_STRING


Resource compiler hates the apostrophe.

Resource compiler hates the apostrophe.

But that shouldn't produce an error about the file format in the image library being incorrect... should it? 

What I was thinking is that FF is creating the name "IMAGE_FOLDER03" for two image resource items.  One a bitmap and one an icon.  Somewhere later on, something is trying to reference the bitmap and is finding an icon file format instead (or vise versa).

Oh well, one of the reasons I love FF is that it handles the resource stuff for me.   I hate dealing with it.
