Did anyone can help me about
    1. How to create windows resource file ?!!
    2. How to access or use it through VB ?
    3. What type of file or text that resource file can store ?
    4. Did anyone have that utility (to create resource file)

    Thankyou very much...

Res files are better supported in VB6.

1 and 4 - Check Microsoft's developer site for registered users.  On the
site you will find Resource editor     as an add-in for VB5.  I haven't used
it much, but it looks good.
2 - Also, if you look on the support site, you will find examples of how to
read from a .res file.
3 - ??

Hope this helps.
Alex.

This will get you started with resources.

Create a text file MYRES.RC --------------

#define IDBMP_BLAHBMP   100
#define IDS_HELLO               200
#define IDS_GOODBYE             201

// Bitmaps (Don't forget the "\\")
ID_BLAHBMP      BITMAP  "c:\\blah\\blah.bmp"

// Strings
STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
        ID_HELLO, "Hello"
        ID_GOODBYE, "Goodbye"
END

From the command line -----

C:\> RC32 MYRES.RC

With VB ------------------

Add MYRES.RES (output of the above) to your project

MODULE1.BAS ------------

Public Const ID_BITMAP  As Integer = 100
Public Const ID_HELLO   As Integer = 200
Public Const ID_GOODBYE As Integer = 201

FORM1.FRM --------------

' Add 2 labels and a picturebox

Picture1.Picture = LoadResPicture(ID_BLAHBMP, vbResBitmap)
Label1.Caption = LoadResString(ID_HELLO)
Label2.Caption = LoadResString(ID_GOODBYE)

Go to Microsofts web site for registered users, they indeed offer a plug-in
ressource aditor to VB5. I use it in my projects, it has some limitations
but in general it works. This gives you the chance to create *.res files.
Alternatively, you can use an editor such as VC++ if you have it. There are
several functions going along with res-Files in VB such as "LoadResString",
"LoadResPic" etc. (check the online help). A resource file can store
bitmaps, icons, string tables, binary data etc... However, it requires good
planning as resoruces are referenced by IDs and you should really keep track
of them...
