Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your detailed reply. I think though that I didn't explain myself well enough. I do not have access to the startup code that builds the system's menus. I am using an Accounting System - Accountmate, which only exposes part of the source code. The code that builds the menus (from a dbf) is hidden from me. So the popups are already built and defined by the time I have my entry point into the code where I need to modify their contents. Therefore, unless I am misunderstanding what your code does, I don't think I would be able to utilize it.

>>The reason I need this is because I have an application for which I only have 'limited source'. The menus are built programmatically from a database, and there is no mnx or mpr. I want to be able to remove or add menu items on the fly, but I can't figure out a way to do this if I don't know the names of the popups.
