Well, this is what I need to know. I'm ok on the modifications, because I tested the VFP7 version by first copying my entire project to a separate directory, so I have a fallback after make any irreversible changes.
Kind of annoying that there are even MORE runtime files needed, but it's not a showstopper. Onward and upward, it seems.
Thanks,
Randy

If you Modify Menu, then your VFP6 menu gets converted to the new VFP7 menu format which now allows you to identify a BMP image with menu options. These menus can no longer be modified in VFP 6 unless you open the menu table file exclusively, modify the structure and delete the last 2 fields, sysres and resname.
