Well, this is a VB group.. but what the hell, won't quarrel about
being one letter off..
Go to Tools->Options and click off "protect read only files" or
something like that.
As for the missing res file in "some directory" is the clue. :)
Have a look at the file name then do a search for that file, if it is
truly missing you're hosed and will have to re-create it.
Look, if you can see a projectname.dsp file. If you open that up in
notepad you can see all the files within your project and the path
they are/were saved at. They're somewhere at the bottom of it.
Maybe the guy saved the res file somewhere else or reused a common res
file from a different location, which now is not accessible or
something. Basically you'll have to find the path to it, remove the
old one and add it in again.
