How to include the objects that were not found

If you did not use any of the types of references described in the preceding sections, you do not need to do anything else to ensure that all objects get distributed: they are all built into the executable file. Otherwise, you have the following choices for how to include the objects that were not found.

Distributing graphic objects

For graphic objects such as icons and bitmaps, you have two choices:

Distribute them separately
Include them in a PowerBuilder resource file (PBR), then build an executable file or dynamic PowerBuilder library that uses the resource file

Distributing DataWindow objects

For DataWindow objects, you have two choices:

Include them in a PBR, then build an executable file or dynamic PowerBuilder library that uses the resource file
Build and distribute a dynamic library from the PBL that contains the DataWindow objects

Distributing other objects

All other objects, such as windows referenced only in string variables, must be included directly in a dynamic library.

Table 34-3 summarizes resource distribution possibilities.

**Table 34-3: Summary: options for distributing resources**
Distribution method	Graphic objects	DataWindow objects	Other objects
As a separate file	Yes	No	No
In an executable or dynamic library that references a PBR	Yes	Yes	No
Directly in a dynamic library	No	Yes	Yes
