Hi Vladimir,
I was not able to get top level form menu pads/bars to enable/disable using the "skip for" clause so I just enable/disable programmatically as I need to. Not the most elegant way to do it, but it works. It seems since top level forms/menus are new, there are a number of bugs ( features? :-) ) that will have to be resolved. I hope MS isn't going to charge an arm and a leg to upgrade to VFP 6.0 But even if they don't, we'll just be trading 5.0a features for 6.0 features :-). Oh well, the days of bugless COBOL compiler programs are over :-).
