Default Determining what menu item called a macro

and Dave Peterson comes through on the river. Thank you sir. One follow up
question. Is there any reason for which one should prefer to use any one of
the FaceId, Tag, or Caption properties in lieu of the other two?

I think you want actioncontrol, as in:

msgbox Application.CommandBars.ActionControl.Caption

I'm creating an xla that will add a custom menu that will be added to the
main menu bar. My hope is to have several of the menu items actually tied to
the same macro which will run (portions of the) code conditionally based on
the calling menu item.

Is there a property to determine what menu item called a routine? If so,
what is it and are there any limitations I should be aware of? Any
additional information would be awesome...i.e., obect/collection information,
etc.

I didn't find much in Excel's help files.
