Sorry for the newbie question- but I haven't done this before
Call to the menu:

 DO ssofficemen.mpr
*  ACTIVATE POPUP TRANSACTIO
  READ EVENTS

Code in the menu bar:

ln_mencol = 2
ln_menrow = 1
CLEAR EVENTS

All is well when that activate line is commented

I'd like to have one of the menu bars active when the menu appears.

When I uncomment that line though, I have to click the menu bar twice to execute the code.
What am I missing?
