>>This is close to what I was looking for... cool code, but- it doesn't take care of removing the item from the menu when the form closes and changing the name of the menu bar when the caption of the form changes, and doesn't SET MARK to the active form. I was hoping for code that would run in the selection of the pad that would scan for all open forms and create the bars there... possibly using the app.aforms array, and SET MARK according to the active form. This doesn't seem terribly complex, and I am not afraid to tackle it myself, I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if it had been done. BTW- I found an article in the KB outlining how to do this in FPW 2.6, but the code used a system variable '_mwindow' for which I can find no documentation. I just wish VFP had VB's windowlist feature...

I looked in there before posting and couldn't find what you're talking about. Where specificaly in tastrade?
