Have you actually #include'd main.h from resource.h? If not, try including
it. If it gives errors, move all the resource-related defines into a
separate file (usually with an extention .rh) and included it in both the
main header and resource file. It would be a good idea to make the rh file
re-entrant using this technique:

-- start file `foo.rh' --

#ifndef _FOO_RH
#define _FOO_RH

#define IDC_NUMBER 610

#endif // _FOO_RH

-- stop file `foo.h' --

If you understand how a pre-processor works, this should make sense. The
_FOO_RH is only convention (generated from the filename). You can name it
anyway you like, as long as it doesn't conflict with any other macros.

HTH.
