>>I created a menu using the infamous VFP menu designer (VFP7)...making sure to generate it when done. I then changed the mymenu.mpr program to something like this:

>>DEFINE BAR 1 OF shortcut PROMPT "Replicate..."
>>ON SELECTION BAR 1 OF shortcut _screen.ActiveForm.preReplicate(oCallingObject)
>>ACTIVATE POPUP shortcut

Anyway I fixed the problem by simply making the .mpr a .prg - but this makes me wonder if it's just not possible to pass parameters to menus??? (or in this case a shortcut menu)

Actually that was the first thing I checked. When I did the compile I made sure the 'recompile all files' was checked - did the build, and then checked the .mpr file - and sure enough the lparameters statement was indeed there....yet running the .exe still generated this error.
