The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6x
Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5x, 2.6a

Menu popups will not appear under certain circumstances when the number of options in a popup exceeds a certain limit in FoxPro for Windows.

For example, using the CUSTOMER.DBF file (500 records) located in the FOXPRO25\TUTORIAL directory, the following program will work in FoxPro for MS-DOS but not in FoxPro for Windows:

   SET SYSMENU TO
   SET SYSMENU AUTOMATIC
