Hi Sanjay,

I think you have to prepend the menu code with "m".

dum = zoom.to$( "mtccom00000000", Z.MENU, prog.name$, retfld, formpos )

You are on the BaaN-5C version, so please refer to the note from the tools manual on the usage of the zoom.to$() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_starting_and_stopping_programs_zoom_to)

Note
This function is supported for backward compatibility only. In new applications, use start.session() instead.


If you are using as a button on a form, then you can choose the activate option "menu" from the form commands.

Then put the code in a user.X section where you link the section to a button via the special options in the maintain form session.

Yes, the "exec.user.n" form commands are used a lot... but according to the Tools Help,[These] commands are supported for backward compatibility only. Support is not guaranteed in future versions of the software.So what should we use in future versions?
