>>Hi,
>>
>>I have a weird situation where a customer tells me that when they bring up my VFP application the list of menu items on the File pad only shows first 10 items (should be about 15). Not even the last item (Exit) is shown. I do have in my start up code that based on some preferences one or two of the menu items (on File) list are removed. But nobody else using this application has reported losing items. And this code has been working for a long time without a problem. And obviously I can't duplicate this "loss" of menu items on my PC.

In my code there are 3 items that could be eliminated (based on the user preferences); at the start of the application. But, for example, the last item, Exit should not be eliminated. Note that each item is eliminated with an individual call to remove this or that item. And I have tested on my PC all the various combinations of preferences and they all seem to work; eliminating just the item that has to be. What puzzles me is how did the Exit got cut off. Maybe Sergey is right; I will ask the customer to email me the screen shot of the application.

One other thing this customer has odd. They do not allow any files to be stored on the local drive; everything has to be stored on the server. Could it be that VFP in order to show menu items needs something to be stored on the local drive?

Thank you for your suggestion.
