Robert,

You were on the right track.

Try this:

PUSH MENU _MSYSMENU
RELEASE PAD _MFILE OF _MSYSMENU

The File menu is now gone. Now when you want to restore the original:

POP MENU _MSYSMENU

FoxPro maintains its menu in what's referred to as a LIFO stack (Last In, First Out). The beauty of this is that it requires very little additional code (and certainly no special menu generators). The only problem might be in making sure that the PUSHes/POPS match up. You can use

SET SYSMENU TO DEFAULT

to restore the default configuration if there's a problem.

HTH,

George
