Hi Christof,

I've tried two ways to accomplish this

**forms load event
DO editmenu.mpr &&my custom menu with one menu pad and several items for
copy,cut,paste etc.

**forms init event
1. HIDE MENU _msysmenu &&This doesn't give me an error. The screen burps,
but the editmenu is still visible.
2. HIDE MENU editmenu &&This one gives me that define menu error


The menu I created (editmenu) is just a basic menu made from the designer with one pad and 6 items for VFP edit functions.


As you can tell, I don't have a lot of experience with manipulating menus etc.


John.
