Sorry for the repost but I didn't get any valid information on the
last try. I was told to use MAKEINTRESOURCE which was just invalid
advice because I'm not getting a load error.

I have an Accelerator Table and none of the keys are working... Its
an old program being ported upwards.

Here's the table:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Accelerator
//

"PROGRAM_NAME" ACCELERATORS
BEGIN
    "C", IDM_EDIT_COPY, VIRTKEY, CONTROL, NOINVERT
    "^X", IDM_EDIT_CUT, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^D", IDM_EDIT_DELETE, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^V", IDM_EDIT_PASTE, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^O", IDM_JOBS_OPEN, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "R", IDM_JOBS_RUN, VIRTKEY, CONTROL, NOINVERT
    "^S", IDM_SETTINGS, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^H", IDM_VIEW_HISTORY, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^B", IDM_WINDOW_BOTH, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^L", IDM_WINDOW_CALENDAR, ASCII, NOINVERT
    "^J", IDM_WINDOW_SCHED, ASCII, NOINVERT
END

I've tried most every combination above and none of them are
working...

if( (_hAccel = LoadAccelerators(_hInst, "PROGRAM_NAME")) == NULL)
{
  MsgBox(_hInst, NULL, IDS_ERR_ACCEL, _szAppName,
               MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK | MB_TASKMODAL);
  return(FALSE);
}

Again, no error is reported on LoadAccelerator(), no message is
display... just the keys are not working... I figured I must be
missing something on configuring the Ctrl+Key combination.

Thanks,

Phil

Thanks!
