Ok guys ... I know you're not ignoring me. :-) But I posted this question a couple days ago and have gotten zero responses. Since I'm sure someone out there has either seen this or sees what I'm missing, I'm posting it again to cajole you all into uncovering the mystery for me:

I have instantiated menus in top-level forms often w/o problems. But recently in a top-level I'm having a problem with the infamous "This menu can only be called from a Top-Level Form ..." error. The form is a top-level, of course.

When running in development, I can run the application and the menu will instantiate properly. If I then close the application and re-run it I get the error. I have noted that issuing a CLEAR PROGRAM before re-running the application "fixes" it.

The menu is being instantiated in the form Init with the following code:

lcMyMenu = ''
DO Main.mpr WITH THISFORM, lcMyMenu
WITH oApp     && oApp is application object
    .MenuName = lcMyMenu && Store menu name for release later
    .ConfigureMenu()     && Sets up Cut, Copy and Paste functionality
ENDWITH
SET SYSMENU OFF       && These 2 statements are required after instantiating
SET SYSMENU AUTOMATIC && the top-level menu to get the hotkeys to work

The menu and "Edit" popup are being released in the form Destroy with the following code:

RELEASE POPUPS Edit EXTENDED
RELEASE MENUS (oApp.MenuName) EXTENDED

After running and closing the application, a DISPLAY MEMORY verifies that the menu and popup have been released. Something simple is slipping thru the crack here ... but I'm missing it.

Thanks,
Bill
