>>>I have an other idea. What do you think about writing a project-hook, which makes the necessary change to the file structure, after you have opened and modified your menu in VFP 6.
>>>
>>>e.g.:
>>>yourmenu.mnx (VFP 5 file-format) --> you can open it in VFP 5 and VFP 6
>>>in VFP 5: you do not have to do anything
>>>in VFP 6: after opening and modifying the menu, VFP 6 changes the structure.
>>> After closing the menu, your project hook undoes the structure
>>> changes

>>>Can you follow my ideas?
