Using PROGMEM with const is not returning the values that were stored

I created this constant array of numbers that I originally stored in standard memory. When I access the array, I get the expected value(s).
const unsigned int lookup[] = {
0x0000,0xc0c1,0xc181,0x0140,0xc301,0x03c0,0x0280,0xc241,0xc601,0x06c0,0x0780,

0x81c1,0x8081,0x4040 };
Now if I add the word PROGMEM to the declaration of the constant

const unsigned int lookup[] PROGMEM = {

Now when I access the array I don't get the proper values that were stored.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I am using the last version of the Arduino compiler 1.6.12.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Certainly. Write the code correctly.

If you need help, you need to post the code.

Takes more work to retrieve array data when using PROGMEM.

lloyddean. Thank you for your help. I assumed that if the constant resided in flash or RAM that it will be accessed the same way. I looked of the page you referenced and tried it out. It now returns the correct values.

Glad to hear that.

It is this feature I most dislike concerning Atmel based boards.
