I can't "give the code", but short of just manually making a list of them and manually inserting the info into the db, I would write another program that uses reflection to retrieve a list of objects that are derived from or of type Form and MenuItem, and then insert them into the DB.

The reason I highlighted "write another program" is because you don't want to include this kind of code in your production (deployed) application.

I just realized you're talking about VB6. You're gonna have to do it manually. If you were using .Net, this would be possible. BTW, I would think about using resource IDs or manually assigned properties like FormName instead of the actual physical form class names. I'm not sure that you can get form names in unmanaged code (or even if it's a smart move to use such a mechanism because it can be inadvertently changed in the form designer), but I'm pretty sure that every window and control in that window has a numeric resource ID of some kind.
