hi all .. i am new to this forum.. i dont know whether i am postiing
this in the right place or wrong.. however i am sorry if it in a wrong
category..

my Question is
can we using the macros access the menus of excel? ,,, today i got this
job to solve and was completely out of idea how to solve it.. they
company which asked me for this task are using a sort of cotomized
interface of excel.. i am trying to say they added some new menus to
excel.. and these new menus can ineract with another external program
which takes some data from the excel sheet and does some calculation
and print them back in excel

what i am trying to ask is can a macro do that ?!?

and if the answer is yes
how can i access the menues like file and edite through macros..
and if no
well what is the alternative way to do it?

thank you very much in advance

Maybe...

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myCtrl As CommandBarControl

Set myCtrl = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myCtrl = Application.CommandBars("edit").Controls("cut")
On Error GoTo 0

If myCtrl Is Nothing Then
'not found
Else
myCtrl.Execute
End If
End Sub

But if these are actually built into excel (like my sample), then there are
better ways.

=====
And if they are customized controls, maybe you can find the name of the macro
that's being called and just call that directly:

application.run "'myaddinnamehere.xla'!nameofmacrohere"

Lots of times, the developer of the addin gives that information out in the
instructions--just so that other developers can call it directly.

If you don't get that info, maybe you can snoop to find it.
Load the addin
tools|Customize (just to have that dialog visible)
expand any menu you need to see the new option.
right click on that new option and choose assign macro.

You may get lucky.

(And cancel your way out--don't do any damage.)

Thanx bro.. that was really helpful ;) and cooool thing

i have another problem

i have two difference sheets in excel.. and i need to copy some data
from the 2nd sheet to the 1st sheet.. the problem is.. the data i want
to copy are Row wise and i want to paste them Column.. and there are
not in one range.. i mean for example : A1 B1 D1 H1 K1 and i want to
paste them in A1 A4 A5 A8 A10

and each time i want to copy it should copy from the next row i.e A2 B2
D2 H2 K2 and paste them to the same column i.e A1 A4 A5 A8 A10

You're gonna be pasting over the same cells each time--always a1, a4, a5, a8,
a10??

And how do you know when to advance to the next row???

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim fWks As Worksheet
Dim tWks As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Long
Dim iCtr As Long
Dim fCols As Variant
Dim tAddr As Variant

Set fWks = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set tWks = Worksheets("sheet2")

fCols = Array("a", "B", "d", "H", "k")
tAddr = Array("a1", "a4", "a5", "a8", "a10")

If UBound(fCols) < UBound(tAddr) Then
MsgBox "Design error!"
Exit Sub
End If

With fWks
.Activate
iRow = ActiveCell.Row 'how do you know which one to use?
For iCtr = LBound(fCols) To UBound(fCols)
fWks.Cells(iRow, fCols(iCtr)).Copy _
Destination:=tWks.Range(tAddr(iCtr))
Next iCtr
End With
End Sub
