Peter, Actually, I assumed you would use a group with scrollbars. You will also have to adjust the height of your stack by yourself, with a preOpenStack script, and you'll need to set the height of the group to the height of the stack. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk

I'm already adjusting the height of the stack and placing the menuItem groups appropriately, thanks. I was hoping to scroll the whole stack. Putting everything into a group and scrolling the group was what I was hoping to avoid. Sounds as if I'll have to, though, if I want to proceed.

Bill, One trick I've learned that keeps the other controls from shifting up is to hide your menu group first, and then set as menubar on Mac OS. Of course, if this app has to run on Windows as well, you'll have to show the menu group via your code if the platform is Win32. Otherwise, no

Thanks to Jacqueline and Chris. They both gave me clues. What I did to fix it was simply delete the menu group entirely. When you do that Rev asks if you want to move everything back up and delete the objects. I said no and it didn't move anything but it did delete the menus. I don't know
