> Open forms do not seem to be the problem. These items
are disabled even at app start (no form open - just a
menu and the toolbar). Any other ideas? Thanks.

Bryan,

I went and looked at the code in ctmenus.vcx. The class cfiledbutilsbar has the cSkipFor property set to !This.AllowDBUtils(). If you look at that method, you see:

RETURN goApp.oForms.GetFormCount() = 0

If you do not have any forms open, this should return True. Try steping through debug at this point and see what is open.

Kind Regards,

Mat
