>Are you sure this will work with Modals? I use my own menus for everything, and nothing on a menu/toolbar is accessible when a modal is active in vfp5 or 6, though in 6 you can see them (disabled). Of course the major reason I use modals is to restrict toolbar/menu access, anyway. When needed, I use buttons/popups, as you say...

Yup. I remembered that it could be done, but had to try it to remember which methods were used. The active menu will be disabled. Then, after the modal status is established, you are adding new menus, for example, edit, and help, that will be available.
