Hi,

>>Thanks a lot for your help, before I had the requirement to post a query <g>.

You're welcome. Also something to consider when choosing between include files and lookup tables is where and by whom the translating will be done. If you use tables the translator will either need a copy and working knowledge of VFP or a supplied front-end. An include file is simple text and can include comments on context etc,etc...

BTW we got round the menu problem by hacking the GENMENU.PRG...
