Ron,

Absolutely superb! Thanks a lot.

I don't suppose you know where there's a definitive list of those IDs and
the controls that they apply to, is there? Do the IDs change for different
versions of Excel?

Thanks VERY much

Pete

Is this working for you

Sub test()
Dim Ctl As CommandBarControl
For Each Ctl In Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").FindControl(ID:=30009).Controls
On Error Resume Next
'Ctl.Enabled = False
Ctl.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Next Ctl
End Sub

Sub test2()
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").FindControl(ID:=30009).Reset
End Sub

try opening a second workbook (so two are opened) so it is not grayed. Then

Tom,

It's there, but it's greyed out - I would like to remove it altogether.

Cheers

If there is only one window, then this menu choice is disabled. So

this is the source of your problem.

Good afternoon,

Can anyone suggest why I can delete all the other commands from the
Windows
menu bar, apart from this one. I just want to be able to display the
list
of
currently open workbooks, but don't seem to be able to get rid of this
command.

The syntax I'm using is:

cbMainMenuBar.Controls("Window").Controls("Compare Side by Side
with...").Delete

Thanks in advance

Pete
