Hi Vlad,

Thanx, that got me part way there. If I'm on a top level pad of the menu this works fine but if I'm on a pad of a submenu, this only closes the submenu. I tried:

KEYBOARD "{ESC}"
KEYBOARD "{ESC}"

This didn't work either. It was like VFP ignored the second one.

I also tried, KEYBOARD '{F10}' PLAIN CLEAR, but this didn't work either. Any other ideas?
