>The menu is created in a custom method "oBrowseForm.InitTBMenu". This is called from the PAINT method (per a previous suggestion on the UT) like this:

are you using an SDI toplevelform (not _screen?). if you are using an SDI you might want to look at msn kb article q171570. i had trouble with my menu in an SDI form. my problem (and what the kb article discusses) was specific to the menu not refreshing properly based on the SKIP FOR values.

if you think the q171570 applies to your situation, give me a reply back and i will tell you how i found a workaround.
