When creating an internationalisation system to support our requirements we moved string and bitmap resource out of Constructor and into .rcp and .r files generated by scripts in an Access database. I've had significant problems with Constructor over the years (random file corruptions, numerous significant bugs, no support for external access to its non-Windows file format) and would advise that you consider not using Constructor for resource management.
In saying that, I haven't created forms in the non-Constructor tools so I can't offer full advice, just that management of string and bitmap resources was *much* easier using standard Windows file formats. While I am unhappy with the lack of progress CodeWarrior has shown in years from v5 to v8 and consider the upgrade price too high it is, overall, a good development environment with good tools. I suspect that the work involved in keeping up with PalmOS changes forces many client-requested changes to be pushed back to lower priority.
