David,
Thanks for your help. I was unaware that I was running a VFP 'wizard' for these tasks. I read an article in Foxpro Advisor that described incorporating these tasks into an application. I suppose the article should have been more clear regarding the issue that some or all of these '_menu' functions may not be distributable.
I'll have to try using 'official' active X controls for these functions.
