If the thread didn't help, could you post the code ( if too long, abbreviated) in your main program ?

- What is in the thread is the way to go if you are using a single main form application.

What would have been helpful is if you had posted your code as suggested by Weedz.

For the moment I suggest to call your menu form MAIN.prg before calling your main form.

I also assume do events in your last post is READ EVENTS.

* Beginning of main.prg
* Setup code
*
DO menu.mpr
DO FORM frmmain NAME oMAIN LINKED
READ EVENTS
QUIT
* End of program

* In the frmmain.Destroy event put:-
CLEAR EVENTS

What is the type of your main form (ShowWindow property), it should be 'As top level form'.

The reason for dissapperaing can be:
Probably your app is running but since the VFP screen is invisble you do not see your app.

Check the task manager if your app is running.

Your menu code runs standalone and produces a menu on screen.

Again I suggest you follow the format in the previous post, take the menu out of the form, and put a WAIT WINDOW in to stop execution of your main form.

This will enable you to start to determine where the problem is.

* Beginning of main.prg
* Setup code
*
DO menu.mpr
WAIT WIND [Menu loaded]
DO FORM frmmain NAME oMAIN LINKED
READ EVENTS
QUIT
* End of program

* In the frmmain.Destroy event put:-
CLEAR EVENTS

If the menu runs successfully, move the WAIT WINDOW into the form's events.

The firing order is :-

.Load
.Init
.Show
.Activate

Sooner or later you should find the offending code.

Following weedz's comments, check that your config.fpw, assuming you are using one, does not have SCREEN = OFF in it.

If it has, you will need to put _SCREEN.Visible = .T. in the startup code of MAIN.prg
