Question

I got a very similar error to the one below:

How can I fix this delphi 7 compile error – "Duplicate resource(s)"

However, the error I got is this:

  [Error] WARNING. Duplicate resource(s):   [Error]   Type 10 (RCDATA), ID TFMMAINTQUOTE:   [Error]     File P:\[PATH SNIPPED]\Manufacturing.RES resource kept; file FMaintQuote.DFM resource discarded. 

Manufacturing.res is the default resource file (application is called Manufacturing.exe), and FMainQuote is one of the forms. .dfm files are plain text files, so I’m not sure what resources is being duplicated, how to find it and fix it?

If I tried to compile the project again, it works OK, but the exe’s icon is different to the one I’ve set in Project Options using the ‘Load Icon’ button. The icon on the app is some sort of bell image that I don’t recognize.

Try renaming Manufacturing,res to Manufacturing.bak or something. Delphi should recreate the res file.

You would of course need to recreate any references, strings etc in the res file in the new one, but worth trying anyway…
