>>>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?

How your menu is defined? Are you running something like do myMenu.mpr where you have different menu items? If yes, the code I posted, should be in the procedure's code for the relevant menu pad or bar.
