Hi Herman,

Finally, after all of your help, a chance to answer one of your questions<g>

VFP 9's menus are the same old menus as past versions of VFP.

Alex Grigorjev has a product called CommandBars that allows you to create Office 2000, XP, 2003, and VS Studio 2005 style menus and toolbars. I love this product! This product allows you to create the SAME professional style menu and toolbar interfaces as Microsoft or anyone using .NET with 3rd party menu/toolbar components. CommandBars adds 245K to your project and does this via 2 VCX class libraries - NO ACTIVEX components to distribute!!!

Andrew MacNeil has a great, voice narrated screenshow demonstrating how to work with CommandBars (see link below) and as well as a flattering review of this product in the most recent issue of FoxPro Advisor.

I purchased this product a few days ago and feel like I just upgraded my version of VFP 9 to VFP 10 (not Sedna).

I give this product an A rating with potential for an A+++ rating if Alex can fix a few tiny (tiny!) cosmetic issues.

Regards,
Malcolm

PS: I hope your workstation rebuilds have been successful and not too painful.
