It's time to take a step back. I feel your pain. You are taking this WAAAAAY too seriously. Back when I did hardware stuff and was but a wee young tech, an old, possibly thirty something, tech told me, SON IT AIN'T MAGIC. Thank you for the Bird I'm sure you just shot me. I didn't like it much when he told me either. What you're saying can't happen, as I know you know! I guess I would
1.) Turn it off, go home come back tomorrow.
2.) Do a file find on your exe just incase I'm running a version that I didn't thing existed.
3.) Place a very strong magnet in front of the screen. This WILL draw out all those evil electrons.
4.) If you are running exe from network, run it from local, or vise versa.
5.) Blame it on Ken Starr. Hey it worked for the Prez.

>>>Ok check this out. When I generate the mpr (from the menu designer-> menu -> generate menu option), it updates the file, but it appears that it is putting the server's timestamp on it, which happens to be about 5 minutes behind my workstation's time. When I COMPILE mymenu.mpr, it updates the mpx file with MY timestamp. So I have a compiled file that is newer than the source code. I haven't figured out exactly what is going on yet, but this is causing me major headaches.

I have renamed my menu (and redirected the DO mymenu.mpr command), deleted all mpr, mpx and any other files that even looked at me sideways, modified and saved the menu, generated the mpr, compiled into mpx, and recompiled into exe, run and the old %$#!@@ menu shows up!. This is ony happening in exe; when I run the program from the project manager, I get the right menu.
