Ok, I'll expand further, all as I will explain, I've devised a work around - 
but it still seems there is a bug with the ResInstLoad() and ResourceLoad() 
methods of TImageList.

Firstly, I've confirmed that the Image / Bitmap is correctly 'embedded' into 
the resource of my DLL buy examining the resource section with ExeScope (a 
resource hacker.) and it looks fine.

Secondly, the TImageList is being used to provide images for a menu bar 
(Toolbar2000 to be presise, although I've tested the problem with the 
default builder toolbar) - which I know supports 256-colour images because, 
at design-time, I can add images into my ImageList and then assign them to 
the various buttons, where the images are displayed correctly.

Thirdly, as you suggested, I tryed extracting one of the images from the 
TImageList and assigning it to a TImage stuck on my MainForm, thus
    ImageList->GetBitmap(2, Image1->Picture->Bitmap);

- again, the Image is not displayed correctly, which suggests to me, that 
the images are not being loaded into the TImageList correctly, indicating a 
problem with ResInstLoad() and ResourceLoad() (both of which I've tried).

However, if I dynamically create a Graphics::TBitmap object, load the 
image(s) out of my resource DLL using LoadFromResourceName() and then assign 
the newly loaded bitmap over to the TImageList (using Add()), it all works 
fine - which again, suggests to me that there is a problem with the two 
resource loading functions of TImageList, and thus any decendants thereof.

Doing well here, two mistical problems in as many weeks,

Cheers
