(About the author)

You just downloaded a VB project from the 'net. But the author "forgot" to include the image files (bmp, ico, gif, etc) he/she used in the project in the zip file. Do not panic anymore! Use this utility (complete with source), to extract these images from the frx, dox and ctx (the binary support) files. You still need the frm, dob and ctl files. (For pgx and other ones, just make the neccessary adjustments in the code.) It is a complete project for VB6 (SP3), executable is included.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:

Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

I have not yet downloaded your code , but looks nice ... very eager to see if this gets images from imageList objects as well because many a times author uses that objects to encapsulate nice images and really don't know how to open up those images from it ....

Nice idea though.

Hello,
I have written a VB program but when distributed the resource files are all visible (jpgs, txt, database etc) and open to abuse.
My code ability is probably 'moderate' at best, are any of the suggestions either ideal and/or easiest to impliment?

Database is mdb format. Resource files are bmp, gif, jpg, ico, mdb, txt & wav.

Is there any way (and how if yes) can this code be used in relation to my issue?

Thanks in advance.
Anthony.
