For the life of me, I can't seem to merge main menu items from child to
parent with MDI forms. I can merge sub-menus, but not main menu items.

So I have a parent form with:
File Windows Help

And a child form with:
Edit View

And when the child form is displayed, I want the menu to be:
File Edit View Windows Help

As I said, I can merge a File menu on a child with a File menu on the
parent, but the above escapes me. I've spent hours on this. Can anyone
HELP?

TIA,
Tom

When you say you want them to merge but can't seem to do it - - what exactly
is happening?
Are they in the wrong place (in the MDI parent)?

I can get the child to append to the end (right-most side) of the menu, but
can't insert the child between two parent items. So, to continue my example,
I CAN do this:
File Windows Help Edit View

but not this:
File Edit View Windows Help

Thanks,
Tom
