But for what I'm working on now, I have to use that kind of menu and I've run into a problem, probably a simple question for most people but not simple for me, since (as I said) I rarely use menu bars in my programs. I want to add a separator bar to my menu. I add it, and you can see that I've added it, but it disappears when the program is run, even I include this code before I access the menu. mnuSeparator1.Enabled = True mnuSeparator1.Visible = True whereas regular menu items show up and do what they are supposed to do. Now, separator bars don't do anything, so I suppose in a sense it isn't really important that they don't show up, but I'm not comfortable about that. (For one thing, I have a vague memory that I ran across a similar problem years ago but with a regular menu item rather than a separator line. Unfortunately, I can't find that question and answer.) Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? (And I won't get upset if you tell me that I should have remembered such a simple thing.) Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

They work for me... nothing special required. I just add a menu item at design time, and set it to have a hypen as a caption - What OS are you on, and what version of RB? Can you export the menu bar as XML and post it here in response? I'll try it on my setup. Might you have two menus: showing different ones according to which window is open?
