"Type of Sheet displayed" wrote in message
...
I have created a custom menu item for the application being created in Excel
via VB code. However, I'm wanting to disable one of the submenu items until
a certain worksheet is selected or perhaps just make it invisible until this
said worksheet is selected. I'm rather new to VB coding but not to coding by
any stretch. Can anyone provide a short example of how do this from another
code module than the one which created the menu and submenu items? I'm sure
I'm not doing the explicit notation correctly and I should be able to just
call the right submenu item by name, id, or perhaps tag without looping
through them all, right?

Thanks,

Bryan
