>Jim - thanks for the reply. That is what I also tried and get the same "menu has not been defined with DEFINE MENU' error. My understanding was to put the PUSH MENU command in the setup code of MAINMENU. I issued the POP MENU MAINMENU command from a pad in RECMENU. IS that correct?
>Thanks again.

Ken,

First if this menu is showing as the VFP system menu then its name is not what you think it is. The name is _msysmenu and not the name of your MPR file, so you;

PUSH MENU _msysmenu

and then

POP MENU TO MASTER
