Relative path for <value> of .resx data element (ResxFileRef)

dotnet windows forms designtime:

In my .resx file (below) I wish to reference an external bitmap that is
located in my project's folder. When I try to compile the project I get an
error on my .resx file:

Resource transformation for file 'Images.resX' failed. Could not find file
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\IDE\TEditButton.bmp".

It seems like the resource compiler has a base-path set to the vs.net's IDE
directory. How do I specify a path to my bitmap file that is relative to my
project directory?

....

<data name="BrowseTableIcon" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef,
System.Windows.Forms">

<value>TEditButton.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value>

</data>

....

Add the bitmap to the project.
