Hi Alan,

well, I had posted this message originally before I had tried to compile the project into an EXE, which doesn't work.

Rebuilding the whole project works fine, building an APP shows no errors, but doesn't really create an APP (that's what I had tried first and thought that it would work). So I think there's no chance to get this to work eventually.

Project hooks may be an alternative (copy the files from and to the menus directory before/after build), but I think I'll leave it as it is for now.

Thanks,
Armin

------ Original message

I've changed genmenu.prg as shown in the section below. I've had problems with the BUILD process when using the debugger, but without it seems to work. Nevertheless I would recommend the following:

1) MODIFY COMMAND (_GENMENU)
2) Make the changes.
3) COMPILE (_GENMENU)

Then delete the mpr files from the project's home directory and rebuild the complete project. Please let me know how this is working for you! If it does work for you, I'll add this to the FAQ section.
