>>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:

>>LPARAMETERS oCallingObject
>>DEFINE POPUP shortcut SHORTCUT RELATIVE FROM MROW(),MCOL()
>>DEFINE BAR 1 OF shortcut PROMPT "Replicate..."
>>ON SELECTION BAR 1 OF shortcut _screen.ActiveForm.preReplicate(oCallingObject)
>>ACTIVATE POPUP shortcut
>>
>>....So here is my problem. This works fine if I'm in VFP, but if I run the .exe, I get an error saying there is no parameter statement. 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)

PARAMETERS oCallingObject

>(notice PAR... instead of LPAR...). The bars definitions in your menu can reference oCallingObject and you can happily ;-) continue to use the infamous VFP menu designer without the need to hack its generated code.

ah so THATS how you do that...thanks!
