Forgive me, but I don't remember too much about the Jump Start project, I don't even remember if there was a Project menu pad. Is this the standard VFP Project menu that shows when you have the Project Manager active?

Just FYI, you can add a menu pad before or after an existing menu pad by specifying the appropriate values in the cPadBefore and cPadAfter properties, and then instantiating that menu pad class.
