Applications with two or more icons and allocating application memory.

My first question is how can you give a Visual Basic application two or more icons (One for app and one for app files)


When selecting or changing an icon with a file,
eg. Menu View in directory window, Options, File Types, NewType or Edit, Change Icon.

or a short cut icon,
eg. Menu over shortcut, Properties, Shortcut, Change Icon.

Some applications display more than one icon.
I would like to give my application two or more icons.
(One for the application and one for any files that are associated with it)

How can you do this?
I have tried having different icons (.ico) for each form and icon files with two or more images in each file with no luck.
At the moment I have a normal separate icon (.ico) file for the files associated with it.


My second question is repeated from a few weeks ago but had no response (See URL; <A HREF="http://www.codeguru.net/bbs/wt/showp...collapsed&sb=5">http://www.codeguru.net/bbs/wt/showp...lapsed&sb=5</A>)


How do you set/adjust the size of memory that a program/application can use?

I am in the process of writing a program with a flex-grid of 1000 by 500 cells and a few dim variables of the same size.
When I run the program (in the development window or as a exe file) the program produces an error message;

Out of memory (err 8)
Unable to Allocate Memory For FlexGrid (err 3006)
etc.

If I reduce the size of the flex-grid and variables I can run the program with no problems.
(I can even run a number of copies at the same time)

I don't know what command sets the size of memory?

Can you use this command in the main form
or do you need to put it in a bat file that sets the memory size and then loads the exe file.

N.B.
On the Acorn RISC operating system the command is;
*WimpSlot -min size -max size -next size
Eg.
'*WimpSlot -min 64K' would allow the program to use 64Kilobytes or more for it's work space.

If you have ever had an application that uses too much memory, how did you fix the problem?

Use a resource file to put the icons in.
The other q, I don't know...

Thank's for the reply about using a resource file.
The next question is;
How do you create a resource file.
I've looked in the VB help file but had no luck.
