Walter,
You came to obviously incorrect conclusion. VFP creates menus using the Windows API functions. As Anatoliy posted, menus can not be associated with child forms, only top-level forms. If you consider this to be a design flaw (which I disagree with you on), then point the finger at the correct MS group, the OS designers.
If you want linked menus, you could create a series of pads, not necessarily an entire menu. These pads could be created as part of the main menu in your form's Init and released upon destruction. The designers (Form, Report, etc.) work this way within VFP.
Just my $0.02.
