Thanks Carl. That finally did cleared the problem I was having and I appreciate your patience and support.
This has been a good learning experience for me. I was able, after you said that it was a PHP issue, to run a search in the entire project and find "active_links" in the menu module and see where it gets set initially.
The other thing I did as to look into the database table and I am really unable to understand the amount of entries there. When I finished adding my menu items the table is up to edit "12634". I set those Primary Links about one year ago and have only occasionally made adjustments, such as changing weights or adding a new menu item. Why would my edits be so high? To me that is astronomical.
