Compiling resource files with Borland 5.5 free compiler

[rjr9999]

Hello all...I hope someone can help me here. I'm trying to compile resource files useing borland 5.5, and I don't understand why it's not compiling...I'm fairly new to windows programing with C/C++, so try not to laugh if it's something stupid...here's the resource file -

IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
GROUPBOX "About this program...",IDC_STATIC,7,7,225,52
CTEXT "An example program showing how to use Dialog Boxes\r\n\r\nby theForger",
IDC_STATIC,16,18,144,33
END

and here's the error I'm getting -

Fatal error Expecting resource name or resource type name

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advace,

Rob

Hi,
The compiler is seeing

CTEXT "An example ...................
Boxes .........",

as an unterminated string.
Try putting a backslash after the first line of the quote.

CTEXT "An example ................... Boxes .........",

Hope this helps.
