Jacqui, Unfortunately, I haven't always used menubars; If I were to start over, something I don't intend to do at this time, I would. And I DO have Arrow key handlers for card navigation. It's one of my preferred ways of moving around. I'm pretty sure the menuHistory property is going to let me do what I want. Thanks for your suggestions though. Always appreciated.
