Hi Gaylen!

As to the hotkeys and the menu working right, in the main.prg of the application, assuming you have one, SET SYSMENU OFF. Then in the Init of the Top-Level form:

oMainForm=THIS
DO mainmenu.mpr WITH THIS
SET SYSMENU AUTO

Now in the menu, anything that refers to the top-level form should refer to oMainForm. By the way, the menu should be saved with "top level form" option set to true (Check out View - > General Options while editing the menu).

>On the main screen(top level form) which has several fields, how do I get the cursor to focus on the first field when the program starts. Right now the screen doesn't seem activated until I use the mouse. I tried setfocus() in the init method, but that didn't have any effect. I need to use the mouse and click on the first field to start entering data.
