Set the toolbar's Closable property to .F.

> 2. Mostly (though not solely) as a workaround for #1, I have created a SkipFor procedure called lToolbarAlreadyOpen as a method of my business object. It is called in the SkipFor clause of a menu item to bring up the toolbar if the user Hides it. (The latter action I enable thru a command button on the toolbar.) Here's the problem: if the user has clicked the "X" (the one I can't seem to get rid of,) thereby destroying the toolbar, I want the the menu item that would Show it again to be skipped. But the code crashes the app. Here is the code in the lToolbarAlreadyOpen():

Change this to:

IF TYPE('oBenToolbar') = 'O' AND ! ISNULL(oBenToolbar)

> IF oBenToolbar.visible && line 4
> llRetVal=.T.
> ELSE
> llRetVal=.F.
> ENDI
>ELSE
> llRetVal=.T.
>ENDI
>RETU llRetVal

>If the toolbar has been destroyed, the code third line ("IF TYPE...") evaluates to .T. (i.e. type is 'O') but it crashes on the next line and says that "oBenToolbar is not an object.' How can it be Type 'O' on line 3 and NOT type 'O' on line 4????
