I'm coming late to the game but I think you want NOWAIT on that modi file command so it doesn't invoke a wait state and fiddle with menu availability.

I'm wondering, though, why you don't just

RUN /N NOTEPAD &lcOutputFile

The menus will likely work just fine in Notepad. <g>

Sometimes VFP frustrates the hell out of me, especially when all I want is that last 5% and it seems like it should be easy....
