Hi, in my first project, for a certain reason I need to find out the menu item line number that the user picks so that I can put it into a variable.

I thought it would be relatively easy but whatever I do isn't correct. I've tried quite a few variations of the following (this appears in the MenuPick handler of an Option Menu button):

Code: Select all

 -- pseudocode
put the number of the MenuItem (--of me?--) into lAhGoOnTellMe

as " put the number of MenuItems into...." works, I thought the above would as well...

Grateful for help here please!

Thank you for such a quick reply and answer, Klaus.

I've been "staring at that wall" for twenty minutes but now I'm off again!

Much appreciated.
