I've created a custom menu on the command bar with a handfull of menu items
and some sub-menu items. I have assigned an on-action event to each of
these but would like to be able to get the caption property for the menu
item or sub-menu item selected.

Is there a way to get this information other than by the fact that the event
goes to the assigned on-action routine?

Thanks,
B

Brian,

As soon as a commandbar is selected/clicked the OnAction macro is invoked.
So why would you not get the caption at that point. You can get the caption
with

Application.CommandBars.ActionControl.Caption
