> Thank for your help. However, I still cannot access my menu hot key when my code is looping in a Do WHILE LOOP. My mouse also can't access the pull down menu at all. I can access the menu when the do while loop is completed. Any suggestion or advise.

Virusim,

Menus are not available while code is running. If you want the menu to respond you are goin to have to tell VFP to process events. An example of this is in the code below;

LOCAL lnCounter, done
done = .F.
lnCounter = 1
DO WHILE NOT done
   blah
   blah
   blah
   ...
   IF lnCounter%100 = 0
      DoEvents()
   ENDIF
   lnCounter = lnCounter + 1
ENDDO

Now every 100th time through the loop a DoEvents() function call will occur. The DoEvents function tells VFP to go process the events that have been queuing up while the code was running. You don't want to DoEvetns() every time through the loop because it processes the fox events and the windows events and take time to do it. Doing DoEvetns every time through the loop will cause your code to run slower than molasis in January.
