In the Menu Designer for Report menu go to View menu, General Options, and under Location choose any other option that suits you instead of Replace.

>Let me preface this thread by saying I've never done anything custom with a menu. I usually use the menu designer, and Vola! Some of you may have read a previous thread I created regarding a report app that I developed. I have a main app, and then I have my report app. My report app simply runs all of my reports so if there's a report a customer needs I can simply compile that app and send it rather then compiling and sending my main app. With that said here's what I want to do...

That's however what I want to try and do. I developed a menu bar in my report app, and I want to call it from my main app. I was able to get that to work "kind of". As soon as I run the report app menu from my main app it wipes out my main app menu. Is there a way where I can simply tell the system to "Do" this menu in addition to the menu that is already running?
