Christof,

I was hoping to take advantage of the existing Export Dialog box instead of having to reprogram the same functionality from scratch.

I'm getting the dimmed out _MFI_EXPORT bar while running my app from the main.prg and not from an .app or .exe file. Since MS includes _MFI_EXPORT when they build a Quick Menu, I assume that it is supposed to work but what is the internal SKIP FOR that activates or deactivates it, I don't know. Like I said, from the command window the Export bar is activeated even when no table is selected so why would it be deactivated when running from a .prg WITH a table selected?

I think that I will just go ahead and build my own "Export Dialog Box" and not waste any more time on this. I'll have more control over it anyway.

Thanks again.

Ed
