Gaylen,
I couldn't reporduce this behavior (VFP6 SP4 on Win2000 Pro). I created a Top-level form, added a menu to the Init, set 1 option in the menu to skip for a modal form. I also created a second form launched from the menu that was modal and configured as 1 - In Top-level.

Everything worked as expected. When the modal form was launched all menu options were disabled not just the SKIP FOR option. I got no errors from _Screen.ActiveForm not existing when the menu refreshed.

Can you post any more details?
