Hi All,
    when I create my menu, I have many options disabled.

    How do I programatically enable/disable options based upon user input?

TIA

Bill

Regards,

Thanks Roland,
    I was planning to do it by just passing the menu bar to my 'logon' form, 
then enabling menu options when they enter the correct userid/password - but 
I'll just invoke a method from the parent and let it do the work.

Thanks

Bill
