I'm not sure I understand now. Are you running an app or an exe? What happens if you build an exe and exit vfp entirely and run your exe? Is the menu visible in the main foxpro window? I don't understand the 'development environment underneath the app' portion of your message. The main foxpro window is a part of your app when it runs and that is where the menu should be visible. You put your form inside it and size the main foxpro window to just outside the size of your form or stretch your form to fit better inside the main foxpro window...

Can you post your form properties?



>Since your menu appears successfully BEFORE the form loads (when DO mymenu.mpr is placed in the prg BEFORE DO Form is called), then something in the form is changing it. Is the menu still visible and just disabled or what menu is actually visible after the form loads? Step through the loading of the form and watch when the menu dissappears or changes.
