Confued as to how to add handler to MenuItem

How can that be?

No idea.
But I promise you, code in the Open() event of that window in that project does not run, and no breakpoint is ever hit. I’ve tried all kinds of tests for corruption, file formats…

I gave up scratching my head over it years ago (although sometimes it catches me out again like this) , and like most things, once I had a workaround, I just kept going.
