RB Resource strings not linked in

edited April 2004 in General
D5 RB 7.02, single exe.

If I have a graphic database field containing an invalid image.

When attempting to preview a report displaying this field, a blank
preview form appears with an error "Cannot generate report."

Looking through the source, the exception is supposed to load resource
string 43000 + 290 for this error. This resource is part of
rbIDE.res.
rbIDE.res is included in ppFormWrapper, which is used by ppIDE, which
appears to be used by the report designer.
I do not include any end-user design ability in my app, so this is not
being linked in.

Naturally now I have included this resource in my code so that it does
get linked in, but I would like this fixed in a future version as it
is quite likely that other developers / end users are also seeing
incomplete error messages.

Regards,
Martin Clarke.
