Don't you mean a bitmap resource .PRC file? Resources must be stored in PRCs -- a PDB is a non-resource database and cannot directly hold a bitmap, although one could be in a record. > That is, I want to create a CW project to build a series of .PDB files, each > only containing one single bitmap family.

Ah ha -- no, we don't have a PDB creation tool just yet, but you could make something using one of the tools out there like PAR hooked up to a Perl script running in the IDE. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
