>You can hide foxpro's standard toolbar with the set sysmenu off. (I think that's the right one), however, you should strongly consider putting in your own custom toolbar. These have become a relative standard in most applications and users really like them. Make sure to put a tool tip over each button so the user can learn what the icon stands for. Once they do they really like it. In addition I have a form which stores up to 100 commands that the user would typically select and the icons for each. The form allows users to add and subtract to the toolbar and stores which buttons and where the toolbar is as part of the data on each user (in a field in my users table) Data is stored in a long character field like this ( 1|4|7|8| etc) which means include button 1, 4, 7, 8. That way each user has a toolbar just the way they like it. Really nice.

Todd, Dezider, thanks for your replies. I had solved the problem, the problem was that I had copied the files foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt from my developing directory to the directory were I test my application. I like toolbars myself, so I consider putting in a toolbar in the next version.
Best regards
