storing gifs in Resource File

Can anyone tell me how to store and retrieve
"gif" files, using the Resource File?
Using the normal methods of the Resource File does not work.
I believe custom code has to be written, using APIs, but I do not know how to do it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

to store it you need to use the resource compiler (rc.exe), to retrieve it use VB.LoadResData to load the binary data from the resource segment.

Perhaps I should have been more clear.

I have no trouble storing gifs in the Resource File. I simply
use the Resource Manager in the IDE. Problem is, I cannot get
the file back out using LoadResData. No matter how a reference
it, it keeps saying "no object found", or something similar.
