On checking the code in office there is something starnge going on.

This is the code generated from GenMenu:

DEFINE POPUP filex MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4
DEFINE BAR 1 OF file PROMPT "Preferences..."
DEFINE BAR 2 OF file PROMPT "Daily Mail" ;
KEY F3, "F3"
---
---
DEFINE BAR 7 OF filex PROMPT "Exit" ;
KEY ALT+X, "ALT+X" ;
MESSAGE "Exit this application"
---
---
DEFINE BAR _MWI_COLOR OF window PROMPT "Cycle" ;
KEY CTRL+F1, "Ctrl+F1" ;
MESSAGE "Cycles through all open windows"



However neither in PREVIEW mode nor on running the code can I see the F3 shortcut nor the CTRL+F1. It is there in the MPR and in the Menu files since I can see it on editing. But when I preview or actually RUN the menu there is no F3. The ALT+X etc or any key using ALT comes up but not F3.

Any ideas if this is due to some VFP setting?

I am running VFP8Sp1


>Thanks Barbara. I actually created it just now at home and it displays Ok. But at work it does not. I will open the MPR and check what is in it.
