David,

Are you suggesting that these dialogs are appearing underneath the top level form of my application?

The dialogs I am trying to invoke were added to my application menu by first creating a 'quick' menu, looking in the menu designer and copying the commands that were produced in the quick menu. (ie. _mfi_pgset for print setup, or _mfi_export for file export).

These commands do work if I run my executable from within the VFP command window but they do not work if I run my executable from the windows desktop. This is what makes me think I am failing to reproduce some aspect of the VFP environment in the environment of my compiled executable.

Thanks for your reply,
