Jim,
Still does not work. I have, in my main menu - which was generated from a modified quick menu, options that calls form methods directly (ie. frmMain.cmdAdd.click) from the command portion of the menu and worked.

I'm sure shortcuts behave a bit differently because of their limited visibility. I've even shoved a public variable into the shortcut but still its value did not change. I'll work along the BAR() and menu setup portion further.
