Hi Jeff, As I recall in the past I've also had erratic problems with use of getSubMenu() when I was trying to do just like you and modify menus dynamically. I think what I finally did was to put some small delay beafter the menu as launched, and before I used getSubMenu (I think I used sleep, or a timer to start the routine which would use getSubMenu, something like that). Since some users are seeing it and some are not, this fits with my idea that there's a weird timing problem involved with this somehow. You could also separate the use of getSubMenu from .text() (assigning the submenu to a variable before indexing .text() from it), just to see if that fixes things. If you find what does, please let us know. Thanks. Chip

Some users see this error and some do not (for example I never see it myself). Any ideas? Jeff
