David,

Mark is correct.  You must compile the menu resource file with the
resource compiler
(rc) found in the ObjectAda\bin directory.  There is an RC.hlp file
located there also
that will give you all the rc info you need.  If I remember the
GUIbuilder tutorial does
mention the need to compile menues with the resource compiler.
Unfortunately,  the
GUIbuilder help page did not have this included.  I hope this oversight
will be corrected
in the 7.1 release.

Phil
