Blank Toolbar wont go away

[wbstrider]

The toolbar under my menu that usually hold icons, continues to show up every time I start VFP6. If I click on it and click ok without selecting any toolbar it goes away. (which is what I want) All my other users have no problems with this appearing. Already tried deleting foxuser.dbf I just cannot remember how to fix this problem.
Thanks for any ideas

Is this a custom toolbar, or one of the ones built into VFP?

If it's custom, you need to release any object references to it. (On the other hand, if it's custom, it shouldn't show up as soon as you launch VFP. Is that what's happening?)

If it is a built-in toolbar ... well, the standard toolbar is supposed to show up when you launch VFP. If you are talking about one of the other toolbars (like the one that holds form controls or report controls), you can control the visibility by going to View / Toolbars.

But all toolbars behave a bit erratically in VFP 6.0. You often see, for example, the forms controls toolbar even though the form designer is not open.

The forms control toolbar. It only is happening on my workstation. And it just started happening. I don't want it to open. A few years ago someone told me howto stop this on this site. But in my infinite wisdom I didn't save the info.
Thanks for your reply though.

Use in the main program

 set sysmenu off

If you want the menu back, use

 set sysmenu to default

Hope this works for you

Like Mike told you, within the menu View the submenu Toolbars let's you decide what toolbars should be visible.

Normally only standard is choosen. And that's what you get back when you restart VFP.

If you delete foxuser.dbf delete the one shown by Sys(2005).

Bye, Olaf.

But, don't be surprised if the unwanted toolbar still comes back, even after you have taken all the advice in this thread.

As I mentioned earlier, toolbars were notoriously erratic in VFP 6.0. (and still are, to a certain extent).

By the way ... Falconsight, your answer is good advice for menus, but does not affect toolbars in any way.

Thanks Olaf, I had deleted the correct one by luck. However as Mike mentioned,, the blank toolbar is still there. When I start VFP it shows everytime. Luckily for me, my users have not had this problem. Just me. I can deal with it.(
When I am programming I can dblclick and get rid of it, when I run the company program I must simply put up with it.
Thanks for all the effort.

SOLVED. Sort of. I restored my XP machine to a day before the problem and it works as it did before! No toolbar.

Thanks all
