I've got my vba code creating a custom menu called "mymenu". The code only
loads the menu when certain spreadsheets open containing my criteria.

What I can't figure out is how to detect if "mymenu" has already been loaded
and if it has, don't load it a 2nd time. This happens sometimes because the
user opens up several spreads that contain my special criteria in certain
cells.

Any ideas?

Hi Scott

One way

On the first line of the macro that create the menu delete your menu firs if it exist

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("MyCustomMenu").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

Then create your menu

If I open spreadsheet 1, menu loads. If I close spreadsheet 1, menu remains
if excel is left open. If I re-open same or another spreadsheet needing the
menu, it loads a 2nd instance of the menu.

I'm running all code from an add-in I created. I can't place any code in the
spreadsheets because they are machine created.

I'm now wondering if their is a way for an add-in to detect or fire an event
when a spreadsheet that contains certain criteria is being closed.

Do you have an opinion?

One way:

Dim mnMyMenu As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Set mnMyMenu = CommandBars.FindControl(Tag:="my menu")
On Error GoTo 0
If mnMyMenu Is Nothing Then
With CommandBars(1).Controls
Set mnMyMenu = .Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Befo=.Count, Temporary:=True)
End With
With mnMyMenu
.Caption = "mymenu"
.Tag = "my menu"
'...
End With
End If
