Hi Joe, Is it possible that those menu items are using reserved characters which need to be escaped? See section 7.13.4 of the LiveCode User Guide (page 255 in the PDF file that accompanies LC 5.5.3).

The stack I'm using is for my use only, so even though I put a lot of menuitems in a single button it's not really a problem. Having said that, you are probably right in that I should simplify it. Up until now I've resisted dedicating a menubar to an individual card. I know that's ridiculous, but I've been lazy. Yes, all the menuitems in other buttons work just fine. If I ask for the name of the malfunctioning menuitem it gives me it correctly. It's just shown as a blank line and it doesn't work. I suspect the particular menu button has become compromised. Probably if I duplicated that button from scratch it would work. However, I'm going to take your advice and create a dedicated menubar for this card. I'm hoping that will solve my problem. Like you said if nothing else it will be less cumbersome. Thanks again!
