You need to make a ResourceStartUp call with your NDA's user ID *before* you open your resource fork--otherwise you're adding your own resource fork to the current *application's* resource search path. You should also use GetCurResourceApp and SetCurResourceApp around the interesting part of your DA's Open function (I haven't checked whether this is strictly necessary, but it's not clear that it's redundant, and it's certainly safe). BTW, a Technical Note (by yours truly) *is* on the way to address the how-do-I-use-resources-from-an-NDA question. On your other question--Yes, MMStartUp is a correct way to find your own user ID. (You shouldn't be calling MMShutDown in your NDA, though.) -- David A. Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems Apple II Developer Technical Support | P.O.
