Hi - first post so not sure if replying to a related thread is the best
way to post this question. Anyway:

On a related issue, I have set up menus with menu items (buotons,
popups, dropdowns,etc). I want to reference these controls elsewhere
(in different modules) and the variable names created with Set appear
to be lost (out of context). I can however refer to the controls index
number. Problem is I can only get index numbers (using FindControl) for
the controls at the menu level. It does not pickup menu items. Any way
around this? Thanks

If using xl2000 or later, use FindControls with an "s"

see Office VBA help for details.

Thanks Tom

FindControls only seems to work for all commandbars as follows (Office
VBA help as suggested):

"Set cntrls = CommandBars.FindControls(Type:=msoControlDropdown) "

but not on an individual commandbar such as:

"Set cntrls =
CommandBars("DTSheet").FindControls(Type:=msoContr olDropdown)"

It replies with a "Method or data member not found".

Regards
Mick
