>>>Hi, Mark. Actually you do not need to compile the menu, and including the .mnx file in the project is enough. A build will compil the .mpr. Also, Elyse has mentioned (elsewhere) that the problem is erratic...

>>OK. My point -- Including the .MNX is not the way to go in Project Manager. Menus are generally called by an initial .PRG (usually set as Main in PM). So the project builder will bring in the menu code and compile it. The .MNX is a table, not code for the menu. The .MPR will not exist unless she actually selected from the VFP menu bar the Menu/Generate option. I think some are confusing .MPR with .MNX. I don't think the PM will open the table (.MNX) and generate the code (.MPR) needed to compile to the .MPX. This is the function of GENMENU program.

Thanks. I have never not generated the MPR from the menu designer because I usually am testing how things really work before I build or rebuild a project.
