>>>Hello all,

>>>I've got a "File" menu in my program that I re-build whenever a new user logs in. Very rarely i'll get the error "Menu has not been defined with DEFINE POPUP", when I do a CNTBAR("File"). It doesn't have regularly however. What I'd like to do is just determine if the file HAS been defined, and if it hasn't, skip that code. I searched the help files, but couldn't find a command to do this. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Scott,

I've searched through the help, but was unable to find out, how can we tell, if menu (popup) was defined or not.

Anyway, here is the code, I got working for System menu file. It doesn't remove documents and doesn't remove Exit item.

?popup()
lnInitialBars=cntbar('_MFILE')
lnBars = CntBar('_MSM_PROG')
for ix = 1 to lnBars
 if (_MPR_RESUM) = GetBar('_MSM_PROG',ix)
   ? 'Suspend exists and '+;
     iif(SKPBAR('_MSM_PROG', _MPR_RESUM),'dis','en')+'abled.'
   exit
 endif
endfor


*set step on
lnAttempts = 0
lnFiles = cntbar('_MFILE')
If m.lnInitialBars>0
do while m.lnFiles>1 and m.lnAttempts>m.lnInitialBars
    lnAttempts=m.lnAttempts+1
    lnBar = GETBAR('_MFILE', 1)
    if m.lnBar>0
         RELEASE BAR  m.lnBar OF _MFILE
     endif    
    lnFiles = cntbar('_MFILE')   
enddo
EndIf
