Thank you for your replies, John & Robert. I created another menu bar that has just the File & Edit menus (which it defaults to). Then associated it to the form(s) and the menu system works. it is true that the ‘active menu bar’ property needs to be checked and can only be if there is an associated menu assigned to the form.
I like the idea of having a ‘menu definition’ subsystem like Robert described. I may look into implementing something like that in the future.
