Changing to .show actually works. I'm a bit surprised because I didn't think to look in that part of code because that partially worked. Changing the format to pdf en keeping .display worked.
Thanks a million!
did some research:
the difference makes a bit more sence now:
.display only display the menu, sort of a view only thing (can even be timed)
.show shows and executes the menu.
