I'm having some trouble when executing the HIDE MENU command. Here's what I've done so far.

1. subclassed ActiveBar object
2. created a simple form to instantiate ABar object and a simple text box for testing edit functions and load my menu
3. I load the menu in the init of the form like this: DO editmenu.mpr then I try hiding it with HIDE MENU but keep getting the error "menu has not been defined with DEFINE MENU"
Do I need to to put code to build this menu in a custom method or prg? I've always relied on the menu builder and calling the menu as stated above. How can I get the HIDE MENU command to work?

Thanks...I'm getting closer :-)

John
