You should check out www.inquiry.com. They have a section of 'Pros' who give tips and techniques. There's about 45 there for OPO now, and another 10 - 15 more are on the way. You can also post messages in an OPO forum or submit a question to the OPO Pro. He does his best to answer them all.

There's a chapter in the forthcoming book 'Mastering Oracle Power Objects' on using menus and toolbars, which includes a discussion, I believe, on creating global menus. [My co-author wrote that one.] You can find out more about the book at the O'Reilly and Associates web site, http://www.ora.com.

It is due out in late February or March, and it is the first advanced book on OPO. Much more intricate stuff than the Oracle Power Objects Developer's Guide.
