Re: Maarten, I am still having trouble

OK I just checked my .DPR file land I have
{$R *.RES} I have some other Delphi 5 programs that I can change the icon
of the .exe file but cannot see why this one don't work.
Originally this program was written in Pascal and then ported over to
Delphi 4 and now ported over to Delphi 4. I do have some include files but
I still cannot see why I cannot change the final ICON

I have the icon in the folder with all the project files but I am not
sure
what is the resource file and how do I find that?

In a Project file ( .DPR ) you should see :-

{$R *.RES}

This tells the system to include: AppName.res

Your best bet is to start up a new Project and play around, when you
add an Icon in Project/Options then you should see PROJECT1.RES appear
in the same directory as PROJECT1.DPR and PROJECT1.EXE
