Another thing you can do (if you dont want to use a menu object) is to put the code to define (and show) the menu pad in the activate of the form and the code to release the menu pad in the deactivate of the form. You could build a menu from the menu designer, generate it, and cut out the part that defines the pad and it elements -thereby taking advantage of the tools.
