If the question is: can I use the Resource Editor in a Win32 application, not using MFC? The answer is: Yes, sure! If you create a new project with AppWizard, choosing Win32 Application -> Hello World , you can see the About dialog in the project's resources and all the other resources as well. Is there something I missed? Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J. Kaczorowski)
