Sorry - just an abbreviated cross reference to a comment made by JLatham
which was

" This might help with the hunt for the control's ID? Gives a list, although
interpreting the output list may be an interesting experiment in the chapter
on New and Exciting Ways to Lock Up Excel. "

Actually it all went without a hitch.

Thanks for your advice and help

You need to get the controls id, and then execute it like so

Application.VBE.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=ctl_id ).Execute

Sheet delete is 847.

I would like to to be able invoke specified menu items from the
standard
Excel WorkSheet menu bar from within VBA subroutines and functions
(do
***not*** need to change the resulting behaviour in any way
whatsoever).

For example

Edit | Delete Sheet

But I have absolutely no idea how to access the equivalent OnAction
macro,
or indeed to discover its name.


Any and all help will be much appreciated

many thanks
