Thanks - you just taught me something about the menu designer that I didn't know !!
The .mpr file is just a procedure file that is generated by the menu designer. So when you issue the statement - DO ImgShCut.mpr WITH THIS you are passing an object reference to your image object to the menu procedure (I assume that you want to do this for some reason).

If you go into the menu designer for your shortcut and then select View/General Options you should have some code in there like :

LPARAMETERS toImage

Then generate the .mpr file (MENU/GENERATE) and edit the .mpr file. You will see the code you entered at the beginning of the .mpr file and VFP will be happy - you have called it with a parameter and now the .mpr is handling the parameter.

I assume that your menu wants to act upon the image and thus you should have some code in your menu items like :

toImage.ToggleSize()

or whatever the shortcut is supposed to call.
