Lost my Command Menus - Please Help
 

Could someone please help with unexpected side-effect after running the
following code:

Dim oCtrl As Object

With Application.CommandBars("Cell")

'Clear the existing menus
For Each oCtrl In .Controls
oCtrl.Delete
Next oCtrl

End With

When I right-click on any cell in my worksheet, I am unable to bring up
a command pop-up menu. What I get is a small blue-coloured rectangle
instead of a command pop-up menu. I then press the Esc - key to remove
the blue-coloured rectangle.

I even tried right-clicking on a new worksheet and the same
blue-coloured rectangle keep appearing.

Could some please advise on how I can reverse this situation?

Kind regards,

Chris.

Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset

Hi again Chris -

To solve the problem immediately:

If you used the following to turn off the shortcut menu, type the following
into the VBA Immediate Window (and press Enter to run it):
CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True

If you used the oCtl.Delete approach to turn off the shortcut menu, type the
following into the VBA Immediate Window (and press Enter to run it):
CommandBars("Cell").Reset
----------------------------------------------
Insert either of these lines (as appropriate) at a strategic location in
your VBA code, such as in the Workbook_Close module (or sooner), so that the
menus will be re-enabled as soon as you're done with your application
(review the original post on the subject concerning re-enabling).

There's nothing worse than losing menus and commands ! Sorry I didn't
emphasize the re-enabling more aggresively. I hope it didn't turn out to be
too much of an adventure for you...

Thanks NickHK and Jay for all your help - very much appreciated. Sorry
It has taken so long to get back to you, but my son very sick and is in
hospital. He is only now getting better.

Cheers,
