>It still appears that your toolbar is not in a formset, and it must be. I have a formset called Opening and there is nothing in it except the toolbar. I do not use _msysmenu, I set my own menus. The toolbar and menu are all a part of the formset Opening. I can then open and close as many additional forms as I wish with no ill effect because the toolbar is always a part of the Opening formset. The exit button click method closes and releases everything, and of course Opening.Release is the last issued command. Here is a portion of the MAIN.PRG. Up until I created a formset with the toolbar as part of the set, I always received the same error message as you, "Object is not contained in a form". Remember a formset is not a form.

DJ,

Sorry it took so long.

I had a "thisform.property" reference in a menu pad "Skip for" instead of
a "_screen.activeform.property" reference. The "Object is not contained in a form"
message was referring to the menu, not the toolbar.

I appreciate your help. You got me thinking about the whole application, not just the
single problem I had and it helped alot.

Thanks Don
