Hi all

I've created my own custom menu and added items to it.

eg My Menu, Item1, Item 2 etc

I would like to be able to change the enabled property of each item inside
certain subs. But no matter what I try I can't seem to 'get a hold' on the
ITEM to change it's state ? I have sucessfully changed the state of the
MENU
to enabled true/false but not indiviual items.

I've done lots of googling but still have no luck with simlar 'delete'
examples that I presume should work. The main problem sees to be even
adding
Tag properties I cannot use FindControls to find an ITEM

TIA

Andrew

Thanks for that

Now got it working ...... the problem (very strange) seems to be if the Tag
value is "PB" it does not work ??? ie FindControl doesn't find it ?

TIA

Andrew
