I think you might need a "break" before
case menuEvent:
Probably what is happening is that the event is falling through your
ctlSelectEvent case statement, and then continues on through the menuEvent
case, where MainFormDoCommand is called. I would guess that
MainFormDoCommand just pops up the about box . . . ?
