The Windows function UpdateResource has the following description in the Win32 Programmer's Reference help file: "The UpdateResource function adds, deletes, or replaces a resource in an executable file"
I can't follow the logic behind recommendations you investigate using "resourcestring". resourcestring is used the same way as (ie. instead of) using const when declaring string constants. All it does is cause Delphi to store string constants as resource strings instead of storing them as runtime data. But constants are unmodifiable, and so do not suit what you initially asked for. Better to create your own compiled resource and link it in. That way you will know each string's id in advance. I can't say I've tried modifying strings in an embedded resource (using UpdateResource) myself, but it's something that you might like to try.
