>>>>>I'm trying to convert a VFP 3.0 app to VFP 5.0a. When I try to generate a menu, the whole VFP session is blown away. I made a new menu with only one item, generated it and the same happened. Then I tried a "quick menu" with no changes, generated it, and the session was blown away again. I haven't found anything in help or at Microsofts site (yet); does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

>>I recopied the genmenu program and tried generating my menu(s) and was still thrown out. Went back to the VFP 3.0 version of my app just to make sure and was able to generate it with no problems. Should I (1) recopy my old VFP 3.0 code to the 5.0 directory (the 2 versions are in different directories) and try again or (2) reinstall VFP 5.0a, (3) both, or (4), is there something else I've overlooked.

>How are you generating the menus? Does the same thing happen when you create one in an otherwise empty project?

The first menu I copied from my VFP 3.0 app. For the second I selected "Other" from the project manager and added a new one by hand that matched the first. The third I added the same way with only one item. The fourth I created with the "quick menu" feature. To generate them, I selected menu from the FoxPro menu bar, then generate.

No I haven't tried this in am empty project, I'll do that as soon as I can put away this (shudder) VB application I'm working on.

Mechanic just called, at least my broken car is ready (until next week)
