Greetings:
Still looking to find out how to specify where in the menu line-up,
my custom menus will be placed.
I have 5 custom menus, and more to come.
It would be more than a little beneficial if I could locate them in
a specific sequence on the menu line - easier to use that way.
Questions:
1: Can this be done?
2: If yes, How?
3: Is it possible to create a 2nd menu line?
4: If yes, How?

either use his method or look at the code to see how to work with commandbars:

Tom: Thanks for the prompt response.
Once again, I think I must have expressed myself unclearly.
I have 5 top level menu Items, each with up to about 20 sub-levels
4 of the top level menus items were made with J-Walks Menu-Maker
1 was made the "simple" way - (non-VBA)
Looking thru your suggested sites I could not find anything that would
indicate answers to my specific questions, in light of the clarification
just given. Am I again missing something simple here?

If you are already using the menu maker (which you didn't previously state),
then

Level Caption Position/Macro
1 &MyMenu 10

the 10 indicates to put it before the 10 controls

After it runs:
? commandbars(1).Controls(10).Caption
&MyMenu
? commandbars(1).Controls(11).Caption
&Window
? commandbars(1).Controls(9).Caption
A&ction

So the &window controls was the 10th item on the menu. the menumaker placed
the new menu before that one.

The menu maker shows how to make the second line

Put a 2 in the level column.

The only reason you would not find the answers in the links for doing this
outside the menu maker would be not making any effort to read them as they
are the definitive documents for describing working with commandbars
programmatically.

If your looking for canned code examples written by someone else:

should have loads of it.
