>>Is it possible for the menu to be invisible until the user presses F10 or Alt? Then I want it to disappear again as soon as something has been selected.

>Wouldn't your users complain about jumping forms on screen, if you enable/disable the menu this way?

Nope. I have an uncomplicated point of sale program for drycleaners. To make it as simple to use as possible I work from one main form that acts as my "anchor". They use the menu very little, usually at the end of the day to run sales reports or if the manager wants to get in and make changes to the system. By getting rid of the menu it gives the staff less to think about and it keeps them out of trouble.

P.S. You might know "Same Day Cleaners" in Halifax. They are one of our users.
