SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, when you change a resource in the Resource View, the string IDs are replaced with numeric IDs. When you view the resource file in a text editor, you notice the numeric IDs instead of the string IDs.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the numeric value of the string ID for a resource is larger than 32767.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use resource IDs that have a value that is less than 32768.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
