I want to disable or enable the Delete command of the edit menu based on what
is currently selected on a worksheet. I put the following code in the
Selection Change event of the worksheet that I want to control.

The code works perfectly to disable the command on the edit menu.
Unfortunately, I get a run-time error (Error 5: Invalid Procedure Call or
argument) when I try to enable the command. Why would the code work properly
on the first line and generate an error on the second line? I would greatly
appreciate any help determining what is going on with my spreadsheet.

Mary

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

'PREVENT USER FROM DELETING COLUMNS

If Selection.Address = Target.EntireColumn.Address Then
Application.CommandBars("worksheet menu
bar").Controls("edit").Controls("delete").Enabled = False
Else: IsFormulaCardOpen
'CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS LINE DOES NOT WORK TO REACTIVATE MENU OPTION
If OpenFC = False Then _
Application.CommandBars("worksheet menu
bar").Controls("edit").Controls("delete").Enabled = True
End If

End Sub

Hi Mary,

Try changing
"delete"
to
"delete..."
