Marco,
   Is this for Windows or OS/2?  I've only used bitmaps for OWL - OS/2.
In any event, in your Resource file, define the bitmap. I know there are 
differences between Win/Resource scripts and OS2/Resource scripts bit this 
should get you started. Add a line like:
BITMAP BITMAP_ID  path/filename.bmp
where BITMAP_ID is the unique identifier for the bitmap, followed by the 
bitmap filename.
The just Compile/link and add the RES file to the exe.
You can use the TBitmap class to load it (look in your help about it).
Use the constructor:
TBitmap(HINSTANCE instance, TResID resID);
passing 0 for the instance (indicating it's in the EXE), and
BITMAP_ID as the resID.
