    Shows how little I know...

    I put all of my bmp's into a resource file so I
    thought it would be good to put my sounds into one.
    Is this not a good way?

    No, because there are functions to get bitmaps from resources, while for sounds, it would be a custom binary resource, and you would have to know how to extract all of that data from the resource, stick it on disk, then load it, or know how to play the sound from memory.

    You should usually load all of your data from disk, because resources increase executable size (its sticking your iamge data at the end of the executable's code), and making it more difficult for you to edit the data.

    In your start menu.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 -> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Tools -> Package & Deployment Wizard
    Or something like that, it depends on you configuration I guess... You should be able to find it
    Never argue with fools, they will only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

    Trav - Click on Add-Ins-->Add-In Manager. Then select the Package And Deployment Wizard from the list, click OK, and once more click on Add-Ins-->Package&Deployment Wizard.

    The wizard will guide you through everything else.
