The only difference between the projects is the two project files use by each ide. All .c, .h, .rc, .ico and .cur files are unaltered and none include any conditional directives aimed an the IDE. The MVC build runs fine. The BCB build seems to not load any of the resources. BCB creates a .res file of about 37K, which is about the same size as the MVC .res file. When I run the BCB debugger I don't seem to get any resources. LoadCursor() returns NULL. LoadIcon() returns NULL. CreateDialogParam() returns NULL as well. Does anyone know why the resources are not accessible and how I can correct this? Thanks!

The project manager creates a *.res file with the project base name. To get around that change the base name of the *.rc file, remove the old name from the project and then add it under its new name. There is a glitch in the IDE that can occur in configurations. The glitch is that when doing a Project|Make the project build may stop at the point where it compiles the *.rc file you provided. If that seems to happen for you try doing a Project|Build. I get frustrated by this and just build the thing by hand with a command line like this: brcc32 resname.rc ..

Did you verify that the resources actually exist in the compiled executable? Run the .exe file through a resource viewer.

The question is why, and how can I fix it?
