Paul,
<<how to grab and decipher Windows message>> Well technically, VB
is not setup to accomplish this but if you entered in a PeekMessage (an API
function) loop at the startup of your app, you could probably get this
going. However, this shouldn't be necessary for what you want to
accomplish. There is a knowledge base article on this very topic. Check
it out! It is possible to fake Windows into thinking the user is clicking
on your normal menu bar. -=- Jonathan

Jonathan,
Thanks for the info. Paul
Thanks, it worked like a charm. Well, actually I spent a couple of hours
figuring out how to popup a menu that didn't appear on the form's main menu
bar, but once I did it worked fine. It's certainly easier letting VB's menu
routine handle menu selections and jump you to the right subroutine than
trying to monitor the Windows messages and whatever youself.
