Hello Henk, Volker, all,

Does that mean: ACT is needed, when CUR (or CURIFSUB) isn't used?

Yes, that's the question.

Ok, I tested this ... and surprise, _you_are_right_!!!

In my test 1 I had all item states except ACT (NO, IFSUB, ACTIFSUB, CUR
and CURIFSUB alias USERDEF1).

A page with only 'hidden in menu' children got CUR, when on that page
and NO when on some of it's child pages: no indication in the menu,
where the user is == bad.

In my test 2 I added ACT and voila: the page has CUR as before, when
on that page and ACT when on some of it's hidden child pages.

Thanks a lot, Volker, for sorting this out.

regards, Georg
