Hi Bruce, It isn't that USER32 is wrong (it isn't), just unnecessary. The easiest way I know to avoid spelling and/or case mistakes when dealing with the API is to simply copy the declaration from either the Win32 SDK or the MSDN Library. Quite frankly, I can never remember the entire list of what's searched. If I find that it can't find the entry point, then I my first reaction is to check what the import library is and use that.
