I didn't know Win2K could do that. Anyway, the MPR file never changes, still has the proper code in it. If I could figure out how to get properties of the active menu, I would see where it was running from. Listing the status to a file and looking at it shows no unusual path problems. Just wierd. At least the EXE's don't have this problem when distributed, just the IDE version.

>>Yes, that is an annoying bug in VFP, but that isn't my problem. Somewhere on some path, is an old vesion of the menu. I can go 8 or 10 times in a row of running the menu and everything is fine. Then, out of the blue, an old vesion of the menu will be activated.
