    Gonna have to change each of the forms menus manually. You could always use
    a find and replace utility to make mass changes across several files (kinda
    of dangerous if you are not careful)...

    Seems like if each of the 5 or 6 forms has the same menu, then is the
    content and code of each form similar? If so, you may be able to just use a
    single form...
