>>>>use the menu designer (obviously, since that is the title of this section). have the skip for set to a variable. as the variable changes from .f. to .t. the prompt does not turn black (remains gray). how do i keep the prompt current with the value of the skip for variable?

>>looked at the PUSH/POP MENU in help. is does not sound like it would work for me. as the value of the SKIP FOR variables change, i want the appearance of the prompts to also change. i do not necessarily want to return to the previous menu. i searched alot of UT but could find nothing relevant. i am very puzzled.

>You may try it anyway, it used to be helpful. You will PUSH/POP the same menu, just to make sure that it will catch new SKIP FOR variables. Surely, I assume that you have problems with menu pads, because menu bars should work Ok without this.

>Edward Pikman

in my toplevelform (not _screen) "DO MAINMENU.mpr WITH this".
in mainmenu.mpr "DEFINE MENU (m.cMenuName) IN (m.oFormRef.Name) BAR". m.cmenuname is a local variable. i do not know how to reference this menu to push/pop..

i am new to menu, but mainmenu.mpr has "DEFINE BAR 1 OF files PROMPT "Obligo\
