    Resource File Size

    Does VB2008 have the same limit on resource files as VB6? I was trying to store a large text file in my VB6 app (almost 3 mb) but all I could access was 32k of the file. I need to be able to compile the 3mb file into my .exe.

    I'm not aware of a size limit but, if there was one, I very much doubt that you'd be allowed to embed the file and then only access that small part.

    I will say though, embedding such a large file into your executable isn't really a good idea. I'd look at a satellite assembly if I was you.

    You have no idea how to go to the MSDN web site and search for satellite assembly?
