The new toolbar is not available either. I look in my foxuser.dbf and the name of the new toolbar is listed. What am I overlooking/doing wrong? In the same VFP session in which it was created, Activate Window ToolBarName works. In subsequent Activate produces an error -- window not defined (somewhat understandable).

The toolbar in question is not a custom class. It is created through the VFP menu -- View, Toolbars, New, give the toolbar a Name. I then drag&drop buttons from "native" VFP toolbars (Standard, Edit, Form Designer, etc.). That menu bar is available during that VFP session. But I quit and re-launch VFP. That toolbar definition exists in FOXUSER, but I can not activate it nor is it in the toolbar list under View, Toolbars.
