VB6 Resource file?

[H]

Hi,

I have written a small game with a aroud 20 sounds. At the moment these
wave files are just put into a folder and called using the playsound
function.

Is there a way to embed these files into the vb app? Ive read about
resource files but havent found any useful info on how to use them. is
there another way to do this or even a website explaining how to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Hellen.

Some light reading:

Working with Resource Files

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vbcon98/html/vbconresourcefiles.asp

Using Visual Basic 3.0 to Play WAVE Files Stored in a DLL

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;141060

(still good for VB6 - if your resources are embedded into the app, just
skip the parts about creating the resource file and loading libraries)
