Much appreciating your help, and sorry if I am slow on this, but it does seem a bit like a big puzzle to me to get this all to work.
ok, so if I understand correctly. in targets tab, create a target that includes the extra resources not able to fit into the main project. Use the Palm OS linker, and I am assuming I must create a sub c file to with a PilotMain function for things to link? This will create a PRC with the extra resources in it. Now, maybe I have no clue, but I see how to create a target on the menu, but you have me confused regarding subtarget? Is that what I just described above? In other words, it's a subtarget in my mind, in relation to my project, but not actually anything different than any other target with regard to creating it? anyway, I will attempt all this target creating, subtargets, and dragging and dropping, etc and much appreciate your help. Do you know is there an example of this anywhere that I could use as a reference? Documentation elsewhere? anything at all would be most helpful as I feel like I am feeling my way in the dark. Thanks, Mark "Eric Cloninger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is one of those tricky parts of codewarrior. In the targets tab, you will have one project that builds a subtarget. If this subtarget is in the same project file, just drag the subtarget onto your master build project, so that it appears in the dropdown part of the tree control. In the subtarget, there will be a target icon. Click on the middle of the target icon so that it now has a black arrow. Then, in the right hand side of the targets view, click in the column at the row where that subtarget is. There is an icon of a broken chain there. This says to link against the output of the previous build. -E > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Lussier > Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 6:12 PM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: Re: maximum number of forms per PRC? > > ok, I follow you right up to the "merge link" as part of a > master build step. > > I moved these resources off to their own PRC file, linking > all with Palm Linker, then took this resulting PRC, added it > to my original project, but when I take a look at the PRC, > the form(s) aren't there from that PRC that I "hauled off" > the resources to. > > I have over 100 forms total for the project, number 100-9900, > incremented by 100 each.
