Hi All.

I have in the past always included icons and bitmaps required by my app in the project and hence in the exe file itself. Now I am thinking of putting all required icons and bitmaps into a standalone dbf file. The purpose would be that each record in this file could contain a different set of icons and I could then change the appearance of the app depending on which record I choose to get the icons and bitmaps from.

Is there any downside to this? Would there be a performance hit for getting the icons from this file rather than having them in the exe file? Would this be worse when running over a network?

Thanks
