>Patric,
>Thanks. What you suggest is what I normally do, but still the forms called by the menu-items do go beyond the main(MDI) form. How do I stop that - i.e., I want the forms called through the menu to remain within the bounds of the MDI form containing the menu.
>TIA.


I think that I may be misunderstanding what you mean. As the user selects a menu item, it should be within the main VFP window (_screen object). Do you mean you want to call a main form, then run menu options from the main form (rather than the main window)? I hope I'm explaining what I mean properly! :o)
