I have scrapped the pageframe-based formset that it created, and created a new form without pageframes. But when my code executes the form, the form disappears. I tried making the form Modal, but that had no effect. Is there something I have to place in the menu code just before or after executing the form? Something else??? Maybe the LINKED clause is my problem?

Correct... after you have issued whatever command to run your menu ex:

do Mymenu.mpr

THEN issue

read events

when you are done with the app (via whatever menu choice), you will need a
clear events
quit
