I have a VB macro inside of an Excel spreadsheet. To run the macro, I have
created a Menu selection that is situated right before "Help". In my code a
look for the index value of the help menu and place my menu before it ...

iHelpMenu = _
cbMainMenuBar.Controls("?").Index
..
..
..
Set cbcCutomMenu = _
cbMainMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Befo=iHelpMenu)
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "&Level Load"

I now need to do this for Latin-Spanish users. The help menu in this
language is "?", so my macro does not work. I could just figure out the
number that "Help" is and not bother specifying it, but that would mess
someone else up if they have custom menus.


So, my question is: How can I figure out the Language of the user first and
apply my menu selection as an if...else statement?

Use the ID of the Help menu

Sub test()
MsgBox Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").FindControl(ID:=30010).Index
End Sub
