>Does this make it any clearer? I don't want to have to get rid of the forms to make the menu easier. One of my options is basically "return to main form" so that if you get too deep and want to get out you can, others let you close up and go to a different place without having to manually close where you are. The app will do it for you (and save by default)...

Clear. I am just curious of the form base.scx. Is that the modal form? If so, then that's the very reason why your menu bars are disabled.
