Storing information in VB as resource

[Jeremy Green]

Is it possible to store binary data in a VB5 application without needing to read in the info from a file. I have thought about storing the data as a BMP on a form. Any better idears to create a fast binary lookup table, which is permanent in the project.

Take a look at Resource files, they allow you to store Bitmaps, Sounds, Text and General Binary Data within a File that gets compiled with the Executable. This would be a good way to store fast access lookup info.

There are several good examples that come with VB if you're unsure how to proceed.
