>I have a tool bar which loads before selecting a form from a menu to display. When the form is first loaded, it can "see" and reference the tool bar. Then, if the form is unloaded and re-loaded from the menu, it can no longer reference the tool bar, generating errors instead. From what I can see, everything is the same the second time through as with the first.

Michael, I don't know exactly how you setup your toolbar and reference the toolbar from the form, but the usual way to have the common toolbar is to create this toolbar in Application object and have something like that in Form.Init()

if type("oApp")=="O"
	if !empty(thisForm.cToolBarClass)
		if isnull(thisForm.oToolBar)
			thisForm.oToolBar = oApp.AddToolBar(thisForm.cToolBarClass)
			if !thisForm.lShowToolBar
				if type("thisForm.oToolBar")="O" and !isnull(thisForm.oToolBar)
					thisForm.oToolBar.visible = .f.
				endif
			endif
		endif
	endif
endif

oApp.AddToolBar should check if toolbar already exists.

HTH,
