Thank you for the article. Using Visual C++ 2003 what I had to do was starting off with no project open, I opened the .rc files for both projects. With both of them open in that way, I could drag/drop or cut and paste the resources from one project to another.

Oh! mike, thanks a lot for the tip. I was thinking how to manage it in latest version of visual studio. I’ll update the article with your observation too. Once again thanks a lot and keep visiting.

In VC2003 drag and drop thing does not work, but you can do it in reverse. Open second project resource file in first project. And use Copy/Paste context menus to copy dialog resources from first project into second one, then save the file.
