I have compared that old app with this one as far as form properties, and they are identical. In the old app I launched the form from the main.prg and I called the menu from the form's INIT using the following statement...

Rich, believe me when I tell you, I sympathise. Suggestion: Don't call the menu from within the form. Do the app following the logic I suggested. Now, I am not a true developer in the sense that what I do are small apps to help me do the job at my place of employment, and so far that is all, except for some apps that I've had to give to a secretary in the office because it proved to be so straightforward that I didn't want to do it anymore and it was passed on to her. (BTW, she loves being able to do that task and I simply support and update it every once in a while, mostly to add error trapping and to improve the user interface).

Any way, I would do one task at a time, and build from there, beginning with a menu that will show. Then write the command in the menu choices to call the form with a command like: Do Form ("RichForm").

Check to make sure the form name is indeed named RichForm. Etc, etc.

I'm sure you'll get rid of the frustration. Oh, out of curiosity, what version of VFP are you running?
