Hi Stephen, Take a look at the following which appears on page 316-17 of the eDoc Reference and page 196-7 of the Printed Reference Manual: To create or alter a menu: MENU menuID, itemID, state [,string$] To enable or disable (dim) an existing menu: ï Set the menuID parameter to the ID number of an existing menu. ï Set the itemID parameter to zero. ï Set the state parameter to _enable or _disable. ï Do not specify the string$ parameter (if you do, all the menuís items will go away!) I suspect the last line above is related to your problem. Otherwise, you've not given us enough code to dope things out.
