Thanks....I saw that in the Help, but for SOME reason I thought it was a lot
more complicated than that.....maybe I was thinking of getting wave files or
other things from the resource file...oh well thats cool.
The think I DID notice tho, if you try to see the string from a resource
using the method you suggested, when yuo debug through, the value assigned
to MyString is returned as black by the IDE debugger, but if you assign it
to a messagebox or the like, it returns the value....just a qurky think.

mystring := LoadStr( ResID );
is this what you mean?
this is the "retro" way of doing it. the preferred way
is to use "resoursestring" constants - but it sounds like
you already have the resources bound to the IDs some other
way so the above should work.
