Andrus,
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear earlier. The edit commands (copy, cut, paste, etc.) are enabled, since the user may need these inside the form or between this form and another application. However all other menu choices are disabled in Microsoft products. This is true in Word and Excel as well as VFP.
