>Well, I don't know your setup, but generally speaking, to have "Edit" menu functionality, you have to have active "Edit" menu functions ( e.g. "Cut", "Copy", "Paste" ). When you have no "Edit" menu, you can define the "Edit" menu popup as I described and get the functionality. But, if you have a modal form active, I believe you also lose the currently active menu functionality due to the modality of the form. In this case I think you can define an "Edit" menu/popup in the Init of the form and again gain this functionality in the modal form. This may be your situation. Bruce may have more to add to this.

Only that usually, that is not a problem, I use plenty of modals, and the edit features always work. Are you sure, Tyler, that you do not have the main vfp menu (or a top-level, if using that) set OFF for that situation?

If you're really stuck, though, try Bill's idea, that should work.
