>>The main program in my project calls a modal form that calls a mpx in it's init. The form is the "home page" for the app and I want the menu items to execute certain controls and methods on the form. I can set skip of menu in the form/prg but can a menu execute tasks methods and events in a form?

Thank you for the help. I am a little unclear just how to use your code.
First, I misspoke; I have a MODELESS form that calls a menu


In a procedure of a menu prompt, I have:

		Set Skip Of Bar 1 Of Edit .t.
		Set Skip Of Bar 2 Of Edit .t.
		Set Skip Of Bar 3 Of Edit .t.
		SET SKIP OF BAR 1 OF Tools .t.
		SET SKIP OF BAR 2 OF Tools .t.

		DO FORM yaddayadda  && a new modal form
		
		IF  table.logicalfield
			Set Skip Of Bar 1 Of Edit .f.
			Set Skip Of Bar 2 Of Edit .f.
			Set Skip Of Bar 3 Of Edit .f.
			SET SKIP OF BAR 1 OF Tools .f.
			SET SKIP OF BAR 2 OF Tools .f.

			*!* I want to execute the following form methods in the modeless form that is running		
			*!*thisform.ImgABC.Visible = .t.
			*!*thisform.ImgXYZ.Visible = .t.
		ENDIF

I can execute the code from a form control, but want to also execute it from a menu prompt.
Thank you very much!
