Take over menus
 

Hi,
In Word it is possible to take over the menus by adding a subrutine
FileNew, FileOpen or similar.
However, I cannot find anything like this in Excel.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplice this?

I know that I can manually use "Customize..." and assign a macro to a
menu, but can this be done automatically at startup?

I need to assign new macros to both FileOpen and FileSaveAs to 100+
users, so I don't want to run around to each machine and do the
customization manually ;-)

Best regards
Ole Sorensen

No. You have to replace the existing commandbar button or assign it to your
macro.

You can create your own menus. Why would you want to actually take over a
menu?

Hi Tom and Fredrik,

Thanks, - I'll look into this.
I have writting some VB.NET classes that handles some extra features in the
saving-process (essentially like a document handling-system), which I want
to impose on all users in my company. Therefore, I need to re-program their
SaveAs to call my function before actually saving.

BR Ole Sørensen,
