Well, I know the tools menu is _MTOOLS
I found out - if I run this command: ?PRMBAR('_MTOOLS', GETBAR('_MTOOLS',14))
I actually get this as the results: Code References
Which is good.
Now, when you said - "how-to for adding a custom menu to the standard sysmenu" - did you really mean adding a custom menu ITEM? As I did manage to add a menu item already. And, using that Same technique - I can Force the "Code References" menu item back to the way it should be.
But, yeah - if _FOXREF contains what VFP is trying to run - I should be able to simply print out the value in that variable - to see what it is running. Correct? Cause - if I do it now - it holds a blank value.
Which does not seem right... ________________________________________ From: ProFox on behalf of Richard Kaye Sent: Monday, May 19, 2025 4:33 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: RE: Code Ref Tool is Broken...
Reading documentation; always good times. 😊
Per the Help the thing that gets run from the standard VFP menu is stored in _FOXREF system variable.
I know Jim had a whole how-to for adding a custom menu to the standard sysmenu that was driven out of Thor. Just don't recall where...

Yes - RK - I have been spending HOURS in the VFP Help file today - trying to track down how to look at what VFP is trying to run when I try to run Code Ref from the Tool menu. But, so far I can not find an answer. Also, I think other strange things are happening.
I actually turned to my new Best Buddy Claude for assistance. But, so far - striking out. A Lot of the things he is suggesting is not working - even things that VFP help says should work a certain way - is not. I WAS - using the help of Claude - able to Add a New menu item under Tools. I essentially had it run the original FoxRef.app - and that works. So, I could add GoFish to the menu that was. I'm just frustrated that I can't seem to determine what is happening when I use the current Code References menu item.
It's VERY Frustrating! Ugh...
