VB6 Menu Editor is greyed

I recently installed VB6 on a new computer running XP Home. When I fire up
VB6 with an already created project the Menu Editor menu option is greyed.
How do I start the Menu Editor so I can add menus to my form? Is there an
option to install the Menu Editor that I missed?

Any help would be appreciated.

You might try resetting the toolbar... right-click, hit Customize, select
the toolbar and then Reset..... but, you might want to forget the "built in"
editor after seeing how this works..... grab it while you can <g> Extremely
cool (compared to the built in version)

The Visual Menu Editor is now freeware

I'll try resetting the toolbar when I get home. I think I will also try the
graphical menu editor you suggested.

Thanks

Have you tried the right click menu on the form? Is it still
greyed out?

The form isn't read-only, is it?

No, the form is not readonly.
