Thanks for the info! ...I didn't see the support site the first time I visited. BTW - I posted a message there regarding the standard Edit tools copy,cut,paste etc. I can't get these to work. All I've done is created a popup menu which is a submenu of another menubar. the popup menu contains the Edit tools from ActiveBar's standard Edit menu. The shortcut keys work ctrl+ but the popup containing the Edit tools does not. Any ideas for me? How do you like the ActiveBar. Any major problems or hurdles?

Thanks again for your response!

John.
