Thank you for responding Rsala.
The program is in the very early stages of development and is rather
embarrassing at this point.
But I have a couple of theories about the problem. They seem to revolve around
RECT and POINT. I am under the impression that ALL structs must be in the ".const"
section. When I take them out of the ".const" and put them in the data section under
the dd I get different errors. Still working on it.

The previous error was caused by msg:MSG in Winmain Local.
Should be just msg.

The next error is not finding "PT.dll". Some progress. This error
is worse than the previous one.

He Shankle, I get an error on Line 109 too.

Was it an easy fix?

Hi Oller,
To long ago for me to remember.
I clear storage(mental that is) after 1 day.
That is the main problem with old fogies :)

Rect in const. section? Why not .data?
