Originally, it was using the Mac OS 68k linker. When I added the 10000 form ID resource, and started getting an error "copying resource fork" I eventually discovered that the Palm OS Linker did not display this error. I think I had to remove the data directory under my project and do a complete rebuild, but definitely no errors were displayed at that point.
However, using something called PRCExplorer, I could see my resources went as high as 9900, and nothing more was being included. So if I have as many form resources as I do, is it ok to increment them by something less than 100? Constructor seems to complain about this if they are in the same rsrc for sure. If they must be incremented by 100, then it would seem there is a limit as to how many forms I can have, since 10000+ is said to be reserved. I guess my overall question, if you can help me, is what is the simplest way to get this many forms into one PRC? I found myself at a point with the mac linker that adding the form would link, but adding a title to said form caused the mac linker to fail with "error copying resource fork" I am struggling right now with Eric's suggestion of target, and subprojects, ect. I cannot seem to find much of anything regarding docs or samples on this particular topic. Am I just not looking hard enough? It's all seeming like witchcraft to me after a while. Sorry if I maybe sound frustrated, but just adding files to particular target right now (in codewarrior) and having to deselect all but the one target I would like the file to be in is getting time consuming (there are many targets already there) thanks for any light you can shed, Mark "Ben Combee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > At 04:12 PM 6/6/2005, you wrote: >>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.
